FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Matthew Jones, 45 picks early at the 220th overall pick.
That Simpson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 31 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
Value with a capital V on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 25, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A tidy bit of business in the 93rd overall pick, where Blake Corum graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at the 133rd pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach the 176th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 246. A need, and now a little less of one.
