Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 237: the Buccaneers steal White III and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ricky White III, the No. 207 name on the board, stolen at the 237th overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. It is not that Paul Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in Round 1, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 63rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in No. 84. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chris Paul Jr. at linebacker with offensive lineman, tight end and other spots open.
Pick95 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 95 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
No edge and no loss on O'Donnell Fortune in pick 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They will replay Darius Alexander at pick No. 158 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
