Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Buccaneers a B.

Nobody else had Jay Toia anywhere near pick No. 236. The Buccaneers did, by 49 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 68 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Domani Jackson at pick 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in pick No. 156, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at the 161st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick200 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jay Toia
They talked themselves into Jay Toia at pick No. 236, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
