Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Xavian Sorey Jr. went at slot 200, a good 102 picks before the board was ready.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That Hill Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick86 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They took D'Angelo Ponds at par in the 86th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at Round 4, Pick 20 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They went early on Fernando Carmona in pick No. 198, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in pick 200 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Value with a capital V on Jalen Catalon in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
