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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Hunter Nourzad at the Round 3 slot, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Schrader falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 65 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
A wild overpay on Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 93, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brenden Rice in No. 125. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Hartman a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 246, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
