Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Buccaneers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Anthony falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 57th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Fair-plus on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 92 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony slipping to No. 246 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
