Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Jermayne Lole a full 78 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Hicks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick68
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in the 68th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at pick 94 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 104th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Steal is underselling it; Jaden Hicks at pick 125 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the 127th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 132nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A conviction pick on Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in No. 165. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 173 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They jumped the gun on Christian Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Jefferson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
They paid sticker price for Jordan Magee in slot 204, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick213
Rnd6
Joshua Cephus
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Cephus in pick 213 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jermayne Lole
Jermayne Lole at the 225th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at Round 7, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick244
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in pick 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
