Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 25 spots for Kevin Jennings, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Bowen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cayden Green
In the 12th overall pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 A.J. Holmes Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on A.J. Holmes Jr. at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Bryant Wesco Jr.
Bryant Wesco Jr. in Round 3, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalen Mayo
Jalen Mayo in slot 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at pick No. 151 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen slipping to pick 190 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at the 231st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
