Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Tez Johnson slides to pick No. 121, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Sawyer left real value on the table behind him.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 19 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Azareye'h Thomas. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Arroyo in the 84th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 121st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Fair-plus on Bhayshul Tuten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 235 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
