Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Benson at slot 57, a reach of 30 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Mitchell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 57 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in slot 92 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at No. 100 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid a round early for Ben Sinnott in the 113th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They jumped the gun on Jalyx Hunt, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 159 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
A real head-scratcher, Keaton Bills in No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in slot 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
