Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dijon Johnson, the Round 7 slot, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Mack left real value on the table behind him.

In the end it comes back to Rueben Bain Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Raylen Wilson in pick No. 122. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dane Key
Dane Key at No. 161 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Malachi Nelson
They barely believed it either: Malachi Nelson still on the board at Round 6, Pick 29. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 King Mack
King Mack at the 235th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson in slot 255 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
