Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Buccaneers, and a C+ to match.

The war room fell hard for Eric Gentry, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 114 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Iamaleava steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Hit on A.J. Harris and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In slot 19 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
They reached into another round for Suntarine Perkins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at the 119th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They did well to land Kage Casey in pick 161, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nico Iamaleava
They robbed the room for Nico Iamaleava here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
