Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 160 spots for Graham Mertz, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 19 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 84th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 4, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 158th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at pick 162 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They talked themselves into Cooper Mays at slot 237, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
