Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 125, roughly 58 spots before his name belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 22 they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 53 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 84th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Walker this early at the 86th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 4, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
