Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Perkins Jr.. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Buccaneers were there to profit. Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 129 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 33.

They will need Reed-Adams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A quiet steal in the 40th overall pick: T.J. Sanders for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They jumped the gun on JT Tuimoloau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They paid a round early for Jack Bech in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at No. 109 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 120th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in pick No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 154 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 18, and they pounced on premier safety value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A big swing on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 161, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick203 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 203 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
No edge and no loss on Jonah Monheim in the 214th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 236th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
