Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Stukes fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Treydan Stukes slides to slot 116, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Jacas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 15 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at the 46th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 77th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 116 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Farmer at Round 5, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
They took Sawyer Robertson at par in pick 195, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A premium they did not need to pay, Eli Heidenreich a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
