The Buccaneers let Gabriel fall into their laps, and walked away with a F. The Buccaneers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Trayanum lower, and that gap is the story. The Gabriel value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left tight end open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick13
Rnd1
Benjamin Morrison
In slot 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 77th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in No. 109, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Javontez Spraggins
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javontez Spraggins. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205
Rnd7
Chip Trayanum
A reach on Chip Trayanum in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
