Graham Barton NFL Draft photo
The Buccaneers' top draft needs were Edge rusher, OL, and CB. Tthe top four Edge rushers were off the board before their pick. Therefore, the Bucs went with the very smart decision to snag the top Center in the draft. Graham Barton is 6'5' 313 lbs with 32 7/8" arms. He was a two time First-team All-ACC lineman and made 34 starts at left tackle and 5 starts at Center while playin for Duke. Most scouts project Barton to play center in the NFL where he could use his athleticism and tenacity to be a plug-and-play starter from day one.

Former Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor said "This is what I think about when I think about Graham Barton - you mix a grizzly bear, you put in a ballerina, and you put in a lion," Taylor said on the Bleav in Steelers Podcast. "Those people don't come around too often." The Buccaneers did an excellent job getting good value. Grade: A+

Chris Braswell NFL Draft photo
The Buccaneers bolster their pass rusher with former Alabama EDGE Chris Braswell. With great length and athleticism, Braswell offers big upside in a strongly developing package. He needs to add some weight and refine his counters, but Braswell will be a valuable rotational piece for a Tampa Bay pass rush that already features several young pieces including 2023 RD 3 pick Yaya Diaby. Grade: B+

BUCS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
