Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 235th overall pick: the Buccaneers steal Schwesinger and grade out a B.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 130 name on the board, sitting there at the 235th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Carter while a need in tight end, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good price on Xavier Watts in pick 55, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at No. 84 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Barrett Carter while clear needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in the 123rd overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 156th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Smith in slot 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 235th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
