Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Schrader from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cody Schrader got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 220.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. The Easton Stick deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at slot 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 92nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cody Schrader in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at the 253rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
