Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Layden Robinson pick is the one that will follow the Buccaneers into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Washington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in the 89th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at the 92nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Circle this one: Audric Estime at pick No. 125 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in Round 4, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at Round 6, Pick 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Value with a capital V on Trevin Wallace in pick 246, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
