Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Michael Harris, taking him 56 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sabb. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
Rueben Bain Jr. at No. 22 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ Allen at the 54th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 86 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in slot 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
A wild overpay on Tony Grimes in Round 6, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Harris
Michael Harris at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
