Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Buccaneers did not so much draft Troy Bowles as overpay for him, 62 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Brailsford pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Styles while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Fair-plus on Caleb Banks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: CJ Allen for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick122 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
You do not let an offensive lineman like Parker Brailsford reach No. 122 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in pick 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
They reached into another round for Troy Bowles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
