Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
B
ValueB-

TradesA
FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Smith-Wade. Final grade: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Chau Smith-Wade had no business being available in pick 204, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If Mettauer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Quinyon Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at slot 89 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Fair-plus on Audric Estime, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javon Foster. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in pick No. 134. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A real head-scratcher, Kitan Oladapo in the 139th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 167 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick182
Rnd6
Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at pick 182, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at the 204th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All in No. 220 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A premium they did not need to pay, Dwight McGlothern a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251
Rnd7
McKade Mettauer
A wild overpay on McKade Mettauer in Round 7, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
