Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Patrick Payton, 53 picks early at Round 4, Pick 20. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

That Lawson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Javon Bullard gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick34 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie in pick No. 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kelby Collins
They paid a round early for Kelby Collins in the 188th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dante Dowdell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dante Dowdell. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
Good price on Shamar Porter in No. 235, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
