Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB+
The Buccaneers found their guy under center in Nix: B.

The Buccaneers spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Reaching for Stogner left real value on the table behind him. Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 23rd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in slot 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in No. 83 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Value with a capital V on Devontez Walker in the 119th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 James Williams
A top-tier safety at a bargain, James Williams in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 24 with a little surplus value in Connor Colby. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Batty in pick No. 178. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at pick 197 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Duce Chestnut
Nothing to complain about; Duce Chestnut went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 220 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
A reach on Jase McClellan in Round 7, Pick 20; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
