Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Buccaneers took Dante Trader Jr. a full 28 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 59 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
No drama and no debate, Tacario Davis went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 126th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 164 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A big swing on Dante Trader Jr. at Round 7, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
