Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Buccaneers: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 88 spots for Elijah Roberts, and value like that does not grow back. The final tally is a middling C+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ewers. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on JT Tuimoloau and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 53. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
You do not let a quarterback like Quinn Ewers reach the 121st pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They took RJ Harvey at par in pick No. 157, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They let Cam Jackson come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 19. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
