Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Beau Stephens, 32 picks early at pick No. 116. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 15 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They zigged when the board said zag, taking CJ Allen at linebacker with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots open.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Taking A.J. Haulcy in pick 77 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They talked themselves into Beau Stephens at No. 116, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They liked Bryce Boettcher enough to skip the value, taking him in the 155th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaden Wetjen. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at the 229th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
