Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B.

The Buccaneers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Devin Culp a full 47 spots early.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They robbed the room for Jackson Powers-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Somehow Edgerrin Cooper was still sitting there in the 89th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They jumped the gun on Jalen McMillan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd6 Devin Culp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devin Culp well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at No. 246 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
