Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B-.

Nobody else had Teddye Buchanan anywhere near the 179th overall pick. The Buccaneers did, by 56 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Evans.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 19 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 53 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They read the board right and Mitchell Evans was the payoff at the 157th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
