Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B.

The Buccaneers put a flag in the ground for Thor Griffith, 60 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

On value alone, Riley makes the weekend a net positive. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Bassa while a need in tight end and running back stayed open. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They liked Donovan Ezeiruaku enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 53. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 79 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Value said wait; Darius Alexander in No. 89 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 109 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A want over a need in the 120th overall pick: Jeffrey Bassa adds a linebacker while tight end and running back keeps waiting.
Pick133 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Logan Brown
The board had Logan Brown higher than No. 158, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ricky White III
The board fumbled Ricky White III all the way to the 225th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 237 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
