Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Buccaneers reached for Boyd and never recovered. Grade: F.

The Buccaneers put a flag in the ground for Khristian Boyd, 45 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. With interior defensive lineman and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 57th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James slipping to Round 2, Pick 31 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at pick No. 92, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at linebacker with interior defensive lineman and quarterback open.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in pick No. 124, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They reached into another round for Jalyx Hunt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A conviction pick on Mason McCormick at No. 131 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the 133rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They talked themselves into Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 6, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 246th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
