Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Khristian Boyd went at pick 126, a good 53 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The McLachlan steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at slot 89. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at No. 107 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in the 145th overall pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 9. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 203rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They took Rasheen Ali at par in pick No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A tight end of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 35 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
