Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kaimon Rucker at Round 3, Pick 20, a reach of 61 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Porter.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Buccaneers paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Garrett leading the way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at the 53rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They paid a round early for Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 3, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at slot 84 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 94th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 James Burnip
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Burnip in No. 158. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
