FutureB-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Buccaneers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Richard Jibunor at the Round 7 slot regardless, 92 picks early.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
The Buccaneers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Value said wait; Cooper Beebe in the 33rd overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 40 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper DeJean a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83
Rnd3
D.J. James
A tidy little value on D.J. James in the 83rd pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in slot 94, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick 95 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 4, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Monheim at the 139th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 195th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 210 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They talked themselves into Nathaniel Watson at slot 212, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Richard Jibunor. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
A wild overpay on Jason Henderson in Round 7, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick253
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
