Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Starks. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, stolen at the 53rd overall pick.

They are betting Buchanan proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 53 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in No. 84 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 37. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
No drama and no debate, Kyle McCord went about where he belonged in pick 121. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
No edge and no loss on Tyler Baron in the 157th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A tidy little value on Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid a round early for Teddye Buchanan in the 235th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
