Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Green: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Taylen Green got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 23. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Rojas reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 22 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Raylen Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Raylen Wilson at the 54th overall pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dane Key
Somehow Dane Key was still sitting there in the 122nd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They barely believed it either: Taylen Green still on the board at pick No. 161. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at Round 6, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
They reached into another round for Tony Rojas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
