Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Buccaneers: B-.

The Buccaneers went off the board in a big way for Thor Griffith, 81 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Starks at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 21st overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 84 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They jumped the gun on Hollin Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A reach for Kyle Williams in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 185 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
