Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureB
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B.

Some picks age like wine; Tyler Baron at pick 121 will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maxwell Hairston this early at the 53rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Value said wait; Tyler Baron in the 121st pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 157 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A wild overpay on Desmond Watson in pick No. 199, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
A big swing on Rayuan Lane III at slot 256, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
