Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 170 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 237th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. It is not that Paul Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first. Burke has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 20th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Fannin Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They jumped the gun on Denzel Burke, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman and edge rusher to take Chris Paul Jr., a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in pick 120 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 121 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at No. 158 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach Round 6, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the 199th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at pick 237 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
