Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keaten Wade at the 205th overall pick regardless, 88 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In slot 13 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
No drama and no debate, Kaimon Rucker went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 23. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonah Monheim in pick No. 109, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 119th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
They jumped the gun on Josaiah Stewart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at pick 183 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keaten Wade this early at the 205th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
