Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Bryant: B-.

When a board-topper like Cobee Bryant slides to the 157th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
A real head-scratcher, Jihaad Campbell in pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in the 53rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in pick No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at offensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 25. Offensive lineman, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Cody Simon did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They will replay Cobee Bryant at slot 157 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quincy Riley in No. 191. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton is a better player than the 197th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the Round 7 slot 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.
