Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Xavian Sorey Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 68 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That Ramsey pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. D.J. Reed gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In pick No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the 54th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at Round 3, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
A clean, defensible pick in pick 123 with a little surplus value in Evan Stewart. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 161st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in pick 235 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
