Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Malaki Starks slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery.

If Buchanan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in No. 53 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 121 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emery Jones Jr. at the 139th pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Value said wait; Jalen McLeod in slot 185 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A big swing on Teddye Buchanan at pick 225, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
