Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Buccaneers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalyx Hunt; the Buccaneers did not wait, grabbing him 58 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

Gould at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left tight end open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Cooper Beebe
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to pick No. 57. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They will replay Chris Braswell at pick 63 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in the 92nd pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalyx Hunt this early at pick No. 94. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at slot 124, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
The board fumbled Anthony Gould all the way to the 220th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at Round 7, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
