The Buccaneers reached for Hunt and never recovered. Grade: F. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jalyx Hunt at the Round 3 slot is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Watson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In slot 31 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in Round 2, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Christian Mahogany
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Mahogany this early at pick No. 63. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at the 89th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
James Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at slot 125, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Jarrian Jones at the 131st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick No. 133 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
The board had Jared Wiley higher than Round 6, Pick 45, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
