Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Buccaneers bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Buccaneers spent real capital to be 110 picks early on Gentry Williams, and the board is going to hold them to it. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

Getting Bassa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The Paul Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, edge rusher and other spots. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 53rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A surprising call. With tight end, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent slot 120 on Chris Paul Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Malachi Moore while clear needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in the 152nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 19, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 176 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They talked themselves into Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 178, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in No. 185 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the 205th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at pick 213, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
