Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
C-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The phones sank the Buccaneers this weekend: C-. The Buccaneers bet big and early on Troy Bowles, 122 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The final tally is a middling C-.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Kilgore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and running back. Landing Green that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
So much rides on Kayden McDonald that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Nothing to complain about; Kayden McDonald went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in slot 44 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
Zion Young
A real head-scratcher, Zion Young in pick 64 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at Round 3, Pick 1 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal at pick No. 92 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 93, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A wild overpay on Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Malachi Fields
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 1: Malachi Fields for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalon Kilgore adds a safety and leaves tight end and running back untouched.
Pick132
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at the 132nd pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jyaire Hill
The board had cheaper options than Jyaire Hill at the 134th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 139, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Trey Moore in slot 158 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Value said wait; Bryce Boettcher in the 160th overall pick says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
They reached a country mile for Lee Hunter at pick No. 180, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
They reached into another round for Rasheem Biles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick198
Rnd6
Josh Moten
Josh Moten at Round 6, Pick 19 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Taylen Green
They will replay Taylen Green at the 209th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd7
Barion Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barion Brown in No. 219, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235
Rnd7
Troy Bowles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Troy Bowles this early at the Round 7 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
