Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Davin Vann at the 235th overall pick. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 36 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 19th pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 157th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
