Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but J.J. Weaver at pick No. 241 is 111 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Paul Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and quarterback still on the board.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
They let T.J. Sanders come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 14. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 54 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the 61st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in the 85th pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Jack Bech at slot 98 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach Round 3, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A surprising call. With tight end and quarterback still to address, they spent slot 101 on Chris Paul Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick107
Rnd4
Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 107 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Deone Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Deone Walker a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Que Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Que Robinson in the 115th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Barion Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barion Brown this early at the 120th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cody Simon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Cody Simon while clear needs at tight end and quarterback sat open.
Pick131
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at No. 132, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They reached a country mile for Jonah Monheim at the 140th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in Round 5, Pick 31, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick170
Rnd5
Maxwell Hairston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxwell Hairston well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 174th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kaimon Rucker
They reached into another round for Kaimon Rucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
A conviction pick on Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 188 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 189 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at Round 6, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at slot 229 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
The board fumbled Hunter Wohler all the way to the 235th pick, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in the 241st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
