Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Buccaneers cashed the board's mistake on Starks: B.

The Buccaneers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, in the Round 2 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Broughton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 55th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at slot 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nice patience on Maxwell Hairston, who had no business lasting to the 84th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Kyle McCord worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nick Nash
The board had Nick Nash higher than pick 158, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in No. 166 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Fair-plus on Jason Marshall Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shemar James
They jumped the gun on Shemar James, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
