FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Buccaneers' weekend. D+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent pick 42 on Shamar Easter, a name most had 545 spots down the list.
However the rest shakes out, Abasiri at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Chris Peal
In the 11th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jacob Ponton
Jacob Ponton at pick No. 77 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114
Rnd4
Thomas Collins
A real head-scratcher, Thomas Collins in No. 114 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
J'Koby Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J'Koby Williams. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Dylan Lonergan
A big swing on Dylan Lonergan at pick 189, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jide Abasiri
Jide Abasiri at No. 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
