FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Buccaneers. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Que Robinson at Round 5, Pick 28, a reach of 84 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
Nothing to complain about; Mykel Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 21, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at No. 79 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 84 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in the 121st pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in pick 166 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at Round 5, Pick 38. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 235 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
