Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall
D-

FutureB-
The Buccaneers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Buccaneers spent the 220th pick on Richard Jibunor, a name the board had a full 117 spots lower. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nix.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 26 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix in pick 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in the 89th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91
Rnd3
Audric Estime
No drama and no debate, Audric Estime went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 92; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 114 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the 126th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 134. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 2 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197
Rnd6
Javon Baker
Javon Baker slid further than he should have, and pick 197 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220
Rnd6
Richard Jibunor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Richard Jibunor this early at No. 220. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick231
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at slot 231 that the board grades a round light. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
They jumped the gun on Eric Gentry, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
You do not let a linebacker like Darius Muasau reach the 247th pick and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jeremy James
Jeremy James at pick 249 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 253rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
