Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Cooper: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Edgerrin Cooper had no business being available in pick No. 95, and the Buccaneers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Reaching for Solomon left real value on the table behind him. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They will replay Devontez Walker at slot 89 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James is a better player than the 92nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
The board fumbled Edgerrin Cooper all the way to the 95th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with edge rusher and quarterback open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick No. 125, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
No drama and no debate, Myles Murphy went about where he belonged in No. 220. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
