Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Zion Logue went at pick No. 229, a good 39 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Benson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Buccaneers paired the rookies with proven help, Zion Johnson leading the way.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 34 with a little surplus value in Quinyon Mitchell. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 23 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Taking Trey Benson in the 86th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in pick 106, and that is fine. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in the 107th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick 136, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They read the board right and Jarrian Jones was the payoff at pick No. 138. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 182 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in slot 183 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Erick All
They talked themselves into Erick All at the 198th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Logue this early at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 238 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A conviction pick on Joshua Cephus at No. 244 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
