Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Patrick Payton; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 60 spots ahead at Round 4, Pick 20. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Allen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They barely believed it either: CJ Allen still on the board at pick No. 59. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in No. 86 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Patrick Payton in the 122nd pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
