Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Brooks should have been long gone. The Buccaneers pounced, and earned a C+.

The board owed the Buccaneers one, and it paid up: Tahj Brooks, the No. 199 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 19 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Burch reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 19 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
They reached a country mile for Terrance Ferguson at slot 84, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 121st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alijah Huzzie in pick No. 193, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to pick 235, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
