Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Buccaneers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Melton while a need in cornerback stayed open. Burton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They are betting Haynes proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in slot 10 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at No. 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick27 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 71st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at the 74th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid up for Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They paid sticker price for Michael Pratt in pick No. 91, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 94 on Max Melton with cornerback unsolved.
Pick103 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the Round 4 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in No. 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Hicks
They let Jaden Hicks come to them and pounced at pick 195. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
