Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Buccaneers walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Starks pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 19 they get a two-high chess piece, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No edge and no loss on Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Nothing to complain about; Jared Ivey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
