Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Reid: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Karene Reid, the 237th pick, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Green left real value on the table behind him. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mike Green
Mike Green in the 19th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 53 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 20. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in pick No. 120, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Jackson Slater graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Karene Reid
They barely believed it either: Karene Reid still on the board at the 237th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
