Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Buccaneers this weekend: C-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Kaimon Rucker, 73 picks ahead of schedule. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They banked enough surplus on Uiagalelei to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. With tight end and wide receiver unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick No. 56 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick64 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 64th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
No edge and no loss on Dylan Fairchild in No. 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jay Higgins at linebacker with tight end and wide receiver open.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They paid a round early for Tyleik Williams in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A curious use of pick 72. Tight end and wide receiver needed the pick; a safety in Nick Emmanwori did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at pick No. 90 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ozzy Trapilo. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Abdul Carter
They liked Abdul Carter enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 102. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
They reached into another round for Jonah Monheim, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaishawn Barham a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No drama and no debate, Logan Brown went about where he belonged in the 151st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They went early on Quincy Riley in No. 161, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at Round 5, Pick 29 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at slot 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaimon Rucker this early at the 255th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
