FutureB-
The Buccaneers robbed the room for Emmanwori. Final grade: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Buccaneers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 19. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
They barely believed it either: Shemar Stewart still on the board at pick 53. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 121st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157
Rnd5
Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in slot 157 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235
Rnd7
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
