Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B-. The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Jah Joyner went at the 121st pick, a good 35 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Evans.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In slot 19 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 20. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jah Joyner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jah Joyner in pick No. 121, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans slid further than he should have, and the 157th pick is lovely value for the tight end. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
They paid up for LaJohntay Wester at No. 235 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
