Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Buccaneers shredded theirs for Cedric Gray. He came off 23 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 26th overall pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the 57th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Max Melton
A quiet steal in pick No. 89: Max Melton for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at slot 92, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
