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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Alijah Huzzie at the 157th overall pick, a reach of 58 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Hancock at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In pick No. 19 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 3, Pick 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A reach for Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 121st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at pick 157 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in the 235th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
