Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Mateer: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Buccaneers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Dawson Knox deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A quiet steal in pick 54: CJ Allen for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Graves went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
They paid sticker price for Jyaire Hill in slot 122, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 John Mateer
They robbed the room for John Mateer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
A tidy little value on Hykeem Williams in the 200th pick, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Dante Dowdell at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in pick 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
