Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Jordan Toles, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 89th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in No. 127 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick No. 204 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
The board had cheaper options than Maurice Smith at slot 244, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Toles in No. 255, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
