Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Ricky White III at pick No. 189, a reach of 29 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Rourke makes the weekend a net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 19th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A premium they did not need to pay, Ashton Gillotte a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mitchell Evans well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Somehow Kurtis Rourke was still sitting there in pick No. 157, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A big swing on Ricky White III at pick 189, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Jabbar Muhammad in slot 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
