Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 22 picks early on Lance Heard, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Getting Echoles where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It is not that Wilson is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Will Echoles
Nice patience on Will Echoles, who had no business lasting to No. 31. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lance Heard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lance Heard this early at the 63rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 13, with Bear Alexander worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Raylen Wilson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 91st pick on Raylen Wilson with cornerback and edge rusher unsolved.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ty Benefield
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Ty Benefield at safety with cornerback and edge rusher open.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Raiola
Of all the spots to shop, they chose quarterback. Dylan Raiola in the 100th pick leaves cornerback and edge rusher for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Tony Rojas while clear needs at cornerback and edge rusher sat open.
Pick118 Rnd4 Brandon Inniss
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Brandon Inniss adds a wide receiver and leaves cornerback and edge rusher untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
They liked Luke Reynolds enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 126. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 J'Koby Williams
A want over a need in pick No. 131: J'Koby Williams adds a running back while cornerback and edge rusher keeps waiting.
