Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers.

Some picks age like wine; Keaten Wade at Round 7, Pick 14 will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Buccaneers indulged a want in Allen while a need in interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots stayed open. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A want over a need in the 57th overall pick: CJ Allen adds a linebacker while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at slot 77 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick 113 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Value with a capital V on Bishop Fitzgerald in the 116th pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in pick 153 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at par in pick No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kamran James
A wild overpay on Kamran James in slot 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in the 230th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
