Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall

FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Buccaneers to a C-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Eugene Asante, 72 picks early at pick 222.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at No. 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jaylin Simpson
They paid up for Jaylin Simpson at pick 74 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Graham Barton
Good price on Graham Barton in slot 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 138 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 6, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cam Hart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at the 188th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222
Rnd7
Eugene Asante
Eugene Asante in slot 222 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
