Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Buccaneers: C+.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Buccaneers to leave a draft. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They are betting Starks proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 19 they get a centerfielder for the defense, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Sawyer. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
