Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Truss. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Xavier Truss slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 28 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A tidy little value on Jaxson Dart in the 59th overall pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 90. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in No. 164 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the 240th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
