Draft Grade — Buccaneers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Travis: B.

Somebody in slot 246 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Jordan Travis, the No. 172 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Kamara reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 26 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Taking Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 57 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. reach pick No. 89 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 92nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Travis
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jordan Travis in the 246th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
