Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Starks: B+.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malaki Starks fell into pick 59. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Oladejo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 27th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 53rd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Bond at No. 84. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mello Dotson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
