FutureB+
Good, not great, for the Buccaneers: B. Nobody had Chantz Williams this high, and it is not close. The Buccaneers reached 105 spots to get him at slot 223. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
The Higgins pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and wide receiver.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 13 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
A conviction pick on Danny Stutsman at pick No. 51 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63
Rnd2
Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77
Rnd3
Dillon Gabriel
No edge and no loss on Dillon Gabriel in slot 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 109th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jay Higgins
A curious use of the 115th overall pick. Tight end and wide receiver needed the pick; a linebacker in Jay Higgins did not.
Pick141
Rnd5
Roman Hemby
They reached a country mile for Roman Hemby at slot 141, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jordan Burch
They paid a round early for Jordan Burch in pick 179, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
Steal is underselling it; Gentry Williams at Round 7, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Chantz Williams
Chantz Williams at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
