Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureD
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Buccaneers did not so much draft Jared Ivey as overpay for him, 26 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bond. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 53rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A reach on Quinn Ewers in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They reached into another round for Jack Kiser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They liked Tyler Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the 189th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A big swing on CJ Dippre at No. 225, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They jumped the gun on Zeek Biggers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
