Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Buccaneers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The war room fell hard for Kaimon Rucker, and it showed at pick 236: 97 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Barham while a need in tight end and quarterback stayed open. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

However the rest shakes out, Morrison at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
A tidy bit of business in the 42nd pick, where Nic Scourton graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shavon Revel Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
By-the-book stuff, Nick Emmanwori at the 75th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 98 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Armand Membou
No drama and no debate, Armand Membou went about where he belonged in slot 109. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
They liked Jayden Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 110. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in the 121st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Jaishawn Barham with tight end and quarterback unsolved.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in the 129th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at Round 4, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 145. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at pick 152 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
Fair-plus on Kyle Monangai, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid a round early for Quincy Riley in No. 165, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Ivey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Ivey this early at pick No. 170. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaimon Rucker in the 236th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
