Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Julius Welschof, taking him 108 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Franklin. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board fumbled Troy Franklin all the way to slot 58, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at pick 89 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
You do not let an offensive lineman like Blake Fisher reach the 127th pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
Julius Welschof in the 244th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Amari Gainer
Amari Gainer at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
