Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers torched the value chart for Malik Washington, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malik Washington this early at the 89th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Good price on Isaiah Adams in pick 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
No edge and no loss on Sam Hartman in slot 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 220th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 247 with a little surplus value in Aaron Frost. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
