Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 25 lands the Buccaneers a B, Rakestraw Jr. and all.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., the No. 37 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 2 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Spann-Ford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 28th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They barely believed it either: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. still on the board at No. 57. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A conviction pick on Christian Mahogany at pick No. 89 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at slot 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Somehow Jalen McMillan was still sitting there in the 125th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 6, Pick 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
