Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Jonathan Mendoza a full 158 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Monangai. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Benjamin Morrison. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to slot 52. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 77 on Carson Schwesinger with quarterback unsolved.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
Value said wait; Jamaree Caldwell in the 92nd overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
They talked themselves into Cobee Bryant at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 109th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 121 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick No. 143 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 148th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick151 Rnd5 James Burnip
James Burnip at Round 5, Pick 13 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick169 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick 169. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
They reached into another round for Luke Lachey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A wild overpay on Isaac TeSlaa in the 177th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Vinson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
They reached a country mile for Craig Woodson at the 191st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in Round 6, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the 215th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
The board had cheaper options than Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 216, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Martin well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
A real head-scratcher, Malik Verdon in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jonathan Mendoza
A big swing on Jonathan Mendoza at pick No. 226, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jacobe Covington
They reached into another round for Jacobe Covington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Monangai at slot 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
