Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody had Gabe Hall this high, and it is not close. The Buccaneers reached 90 spots to get him at slot 197.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Robinson. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A tidy bit of business in slot 51, where Troy Fautanu graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the 83rd overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They reached into another round for Cade Stover, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 99 with a little surplus value in Dominick Puni. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at the 119th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
They jumped the gun on Tahj Brooks, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at No. 197. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
