Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Harris: B.

Somebody in pick No. 190 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Tre Harris, the No. 17 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will need Catalon to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 28th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in Round 2, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at pick 90. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 126th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at No. 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
