Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Buccaneers, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with KJ Jefferson at No. 235, a reach of 78 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Burch falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In No. 19 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 51 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 120th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
They robbed the room for Jordan Burch here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KJ Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
