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

Somebody in pick No. 226 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Josaiah Stewart, the No. 41 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 37 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach pick 68 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at slot 73. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 84th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick No. 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 David Walker
Somehow David Walker was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 226th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Zy Alexander at Round 7, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Circle this one: Kurtis Rourke at the 249th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
