Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Buccaneers let Harris fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tre Harris got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 217. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

The Weaver pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Sawyer. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at the 47th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 82 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Bech this early at pick 101. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at the 107th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at Round 4, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bradyn Swinson
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 115th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. slipping to slot 127 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They read the board right and Rylie Mills was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 140 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sonny Styles in pick No. 146, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 147th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darien Porter
They robbed the room for Darien Porter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 13, with Zy Alexander worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dane Key
Dane Key at the 162nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at No. 169 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in the 170th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 184: Dont'e Thornton Jr. for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
You do not let an edge rusher like Kyle Kennard reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to pick No. 220, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick229 Rnd7 Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Somehow Jonah Monheim was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in pick 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
