Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 109 on Francisco Mauigoa a full 76 spots early.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Evan Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection.
Pick45 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at pick No. 109 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
They reached into another round for Phil Mafah, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Mason Taylor at the 205th overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
