Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 81 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Getting White III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 19th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reasonable price with a little left over, JT Tuimoloau in pick 53. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A tidy little value on Mason Taylor in pick No. 84, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 157 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 7, Pick 19 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
