Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Ewers is the Buccaneers' new face under center. Grade: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Restrepo at the 212th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They have staked the next five years on Quinn Ewers, which is the only story that really matters here. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Quinn Ewers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In the 23rd pick they get the arm they will build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Emery Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Emery Jones in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 84th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Somehow Jabbar Muhammad was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 20, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at slot 148 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Javontez Spraggins
They robbed the room for Javontez Spraggins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at the 212th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
