Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a C+ for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Richard Jibunor, taking him 145 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 26. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
They read the board right and Tyrice Knight was the payoff at pick 127. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204 Rnd6 Richard Jibunor
They reached a country mile for Richard Jibunor at Round 6, Pick 29, and the board is aghast. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 244th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 255, where Trey Taylor graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
