Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Buccaneers: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Ethan Downs at Round 5, Pick 19 will need to, sitting 113 spots clear of his grade.

Hudson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
By-the-book stuff, Bradyn Swinson at pick No. 53 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Parrish. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ethan Downs
Value said wait; Ethan Downs in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Circle this one: Kobe Hudson at the 235th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
