Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent pick 235 on Xavian Sorey Jr., a name most had 67 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Brailsford at that price is a win they earned.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In No. 22 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: CJ Allen for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 20. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 161 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
A wild overpay on Tony Grimes in the 200th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
