Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Buccaneers a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Davin Vann, 39 picks early at No. 235. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Arroyo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in pick No. 53, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo is a better player than Round 3, Pick 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
They reached a country mile for Kaimon Rucker at the 121st overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Davin Vann
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davin Vann well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
