FutureA
The Buccaneers bled value on every deal, hence the C. There is reaching, and then there is Steve Linton at No. 220. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 72 and dared it to prove them wrong. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Landing Emmanwori that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Hit on Shavon Revel Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick59
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 27, where Shavon Revel Jr. graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 60 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 93rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
A real head-scratcher, Kaimon Rucker in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
They talked themselves into Jonah Monheim at No. 117, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 141st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick205
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in No. 205 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220
Rnd7
Steve Linton
They reached a country mile for Steve Linton at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
