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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Buccaneers would have aced it. David Walker at the Round 2 slot is 55 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 19 they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 David Walker
David Walker in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A reach on Ashton Gillotte in the 84th pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mitchell Evans this early at the 121st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at slot 157, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at Round 7, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
