Draft Grade — Buccaneers

FutureB
The Buccaneers lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but James Williams at the 74th overall pick is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The Sturdivant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In pick No. 22 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 35th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42
Rnd2
Carson Beck
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Beck at No. 42, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jack Sawyer
They took Jack Sawyer at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
James Williams
James Williams at slot 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick103
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Zach Frazier in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at the 135th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
Steal is underselling it; J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 187 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
They paid sticker price for Rasheen Ali in No. 220, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Storm Duck
A tidy little value on Storm Duck in the 231st pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
