Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B.

Some picks age like wine; Bucky Irving at slot 93 will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Landing Powers-Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 26th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Somehow Jackson Powers-Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 92 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bucky Irving in Round 3, Pick 30, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
The board fumbled Kamren Kinchens all the way to slot 125, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They liked Logan Lee enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 220. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Jones at the 246th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
