Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Paul Jr.: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the 223rd pick. Highway robbery.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 30 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 21, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 83rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick 89 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They paid up for Daylen Everette at the 107th pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Que Robinson
They reached a country mile for Que Robinson at pick No. 119, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 130 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to the 156th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 165th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick223 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach No. 223 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
