Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Gray: A-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Joshua Gray got past him. The Buccaneers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 244. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Every board in the league had Wingo lower, and that gap is the story. The Buccaneers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick74
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
A tidy bit of business in the 78th pick, where Quinn Ewers graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in pick No. 84. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 109 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 120th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in pick 151. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 5, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at No. 168 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Tupuola-Fetui. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
Nothing to complain about; Miyan Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Knox at Round 6, Pick 23 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 204 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
Taking Rasheen Ali in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the 220th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241
Rnd7
Derek Wingo
Derek Wingo at pick 241 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick244
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
They will replay Joshua Gray at pick No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
