Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Gordon II: B-.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until pick 206, and the Buccaneers did not need to be asked twice.

If Biggers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 30 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nic Scourton at Round 2, Pick 21. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A reach on Barrett Carter in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A slide stopped in slot 109, with Tai Felton worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 121 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 157th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in pick No. 206, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the 235th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
