FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a B- for the Buccaneers. The search is over. The Buccaneers handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Clark at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
If McClellan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They read the board right and Kris Jenkins was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick No. 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at No. 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 118 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in pick 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A wild overpay on Jase McClellan in the 220th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 231st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
