Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Oronde Gadsden II, 40 picks early at pick No. 157.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at No. 26 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They went early on Ashton Gillotte in the 84th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A premium they did not need to pay, Tai Felton a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
They talked themselves into Cobee Bryant at Round 3, Pick 37, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A reach for Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick No. 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 157th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in Round 6, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at No. 235 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
