FutureB-
The Buccaneers let Bassa fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Somebody in Round 5, Pick 28 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Buccaneers sat still while Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 117 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Campbell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 25th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach pick No. 56 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in pick 83 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
By-the-book stuff, Daylen Everette at slot 107 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 119th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to No. 125, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Smael Mondon Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick156
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
Nice patience on DeMonte Capehart, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 19. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick 165 is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
They read the board right and Terrance Ferguson was the payoff at slot 223. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 235th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
