The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Buccaneers did not so much draft Ethan Downs as overpay for him, 55 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 19th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to pick No. 53. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in pick 84. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in slot 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Emery Jones Jr. for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ethan Downs well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
