Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Smith from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Brashard Smith got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at slot 156. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Morris proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Campbell while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 24th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jihaad Campbell while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at the 83rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick 89 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Taking Brashard Smith in No. 156 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at pick 159. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They paid up for Nick Nash at the 223rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They talked themselves into Micah Morris at No. 235, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
