FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Buccaneers for Thomas: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Nathan Thomas tumbling to the Buccaneers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The cost of the Wilson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 65 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They paid sticker price for Jalyx Hunt in the 125th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at pick No. 142 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in the 208th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Good price on Joe Milton III in pick 220, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Somehow Edefuan Ulofoshio was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 6, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick No. 246 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
