Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Bassa: A-. The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jeffrey Bassa fell into No. 210.
The Bryant reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on linebacker with tight end, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nick Emmanwori and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They read the board right and Jack Bech was the payoff at pick No. 84. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarr Norman-Lott in the 85th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Chris Paul Jr. in slot 86 leaves tight end, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick118
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Barrett Carter with tight end, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick120
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 19, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 128th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
The board had Joshua Farmer higher than the 132nd overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A big swing on Cobee Bryant at No. 158, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at pick No. 159 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 210th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick215
Rnd6
Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick237
Rnd7
James Burnip
The board fumbled James Burnip all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
