FutureA-
The Buccaneers let Slaughter fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Slaughter fell into the 77th overall pick.
The Hill Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 29 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Anthony Hill Jr. while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at the 77th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
The board had Daylen Everette higher than slot 91, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach No. 116 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
They read the board right and Jalon Kilgore was the payoff at pick 126. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Somehow Ar'maj Reed-Adams was still sitting there in the 155th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oscar Delp in Round 6, Pick 14. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Dallen Bentley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallen Bentley at the 210th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott slid further than he should have, and pick 229 is lovely value for the linebacker. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
