Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 87 lands the Buccaneers a B, Warren and all.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyler Warren fell into pick No. 87. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Carter pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Turner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick No. 49, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at slot 81 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 87th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Barrett Carter while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in No. 153 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in Round 7, Pick 19 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
