Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Buccaneers a B+.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. DeMonte Capehart went at No. 96, a good 36 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will answer for taking linebacker early while offensive lineman and wide receiver went begging. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Allen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 26th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Allen at the 59th overall pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 96 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in pick No. 122, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Rasheem Biles
A want over a need in pick 132: Rasheem Biles adds a linebacker while offensive lineman and wide receiver keeps waiting.
Pick235 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
They reached into another round for Solomon Tuliaupupu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dylan Edwards
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Edwards at pick No. 255, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
