Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Buccaneers shredded theirs for Joey Slackman. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spending an early pick on linebacker with tight end, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 19th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A big swing on Darien Porter at pick 53, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They paid up for Jack Bech at slot 84 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots to take Danny Stutsman, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick156 Rnd5 Addison West
They talked themselves into Addison West at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joey Slackman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
