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

The war room fell hard for JT Daniels, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 45: 64 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Hardy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 19 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in Round 2, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 83rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 119 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Miyan Williams at the 197th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 JT Daniels
JT Daniels at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at pick 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
