Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Perkins Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Harold Perkins Jr. got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at No. 192.

They are betting Slackman proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the 62nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They went early on Jack Bech in pick No. 85, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They reached into another round for Ozzy Trapilo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rylie Mills well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 130 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 153rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A wild overpay on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 154, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 160 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 178th pick and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to slot 192, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at No. 210 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 212. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd7 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 218th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joey Slackman in Round 7, Pick 10, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Taking Xavier Nwankpa in pick 236 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
