FutureC
The Buccaneers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jeff Sims at pick 249 is 213 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The Winston Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Buccaneers paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Garrett leading the way.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
Good price on Shavon Revel Jr. in the 33rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to No. 56. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
A reach for Joshua Farmer in Round 4, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at slot 147 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
A straight-up fair deal on Earnest Greene III at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 235th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Sheppard. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jeff Sims
Jeff Sims at pick No. 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
