Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureC
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Terrance Carter Jr. at slot 77 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Nelson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the 27th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Jacas in No. 60 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Terrance Carter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 13, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid up for D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 91 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at the 211th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
Taking Malachi Nelson in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
