Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Buccaneers bet big and early on Hayden Hatten, 80 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, McKinstry makes the weekend a net positive.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. With interior defensive lineman and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 32 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A reach for Adisa Isaac in Round 2, Pick 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 84th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Junior Colson in No. 95 leaves interior defensive lineman and quarterback for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 120 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They jumped the gun on Justin Eboigbe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at Round 6, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in slot 241 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
