Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 42 picks early on Richard Jibunor, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Ford steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots went begging. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A reach for Kiran Amegadjie in the 58th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
The board had Calen Bullock higher than Round 3, Pick 28, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick 92, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent No. 105 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick138
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 138 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at Round 5, Pick 29. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nice patience on Nathaniel Watson, who had no business lasting to the 220th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
The board fumbled Jaylan Ford all the way to slot 225, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick226
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in the 226th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
Value with a capital V on Dominique Hampton in pick 246, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
