Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 26 picks early on Javon Solomon, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on Tyler Nubin and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a ballhawk on the back end, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the 57th pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the 89th overall pick leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke McCaffrey. The roster fit checks out.
