Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 120, a good 118 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Riley steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Schwesinger pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 19th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slipping to slot 53 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Carson Schwesinger while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 120th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A real head-scratcher, Luke Lachey in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
The board fumbled O'Donnell Fortune all the way to pick 158, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
They barely believed it either: Jacob Parrish still on the board at slot 171. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at the 206th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick237 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
