Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Buccaneers.

The Jalen McLeod selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 117 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Skattebo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

So much rides on Tetairoa McMillan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 19th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 53 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Fadil Diggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fadil Diggs this early at No. 121. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 157 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in pick 235, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
