Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Carson: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Caelen Carson tumbling to the Buccaneers in the 125th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Raym left real value on the table behind him. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in the 57th pick, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 89 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
The board fumbled Caelen Carson all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 246th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
