Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Membou from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Armand Membou fell into the 159th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Walker while a need in tight end, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 53rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 54 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick No. 84, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jalon Walker while clear needs at tight end, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick124 Rnd4 David Walker
A slide stopped in pick 124, with David Walker worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Josaiah Stewart in the 157th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Armand Membou
They robbed the room for Armand Membou here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 235 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
