FutureF
The Jones reach set a tone the Buccaneers could not shake: F. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Buccaneers spent the 250th pick on Jayson Jones, a name most had 156 spots down the list.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will answer for taking S-EDGE early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Zach Frazier
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Beebe. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93
Rnd3
James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in pick 93, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 95th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in No. 108, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 129 on Jalyx Hunt with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick157
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 157 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in No. 167 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick No. 177 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 220th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the 246th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jayson Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayson Jones this early at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They read the board right and Brevyn Spann-Ford was the payoff at pick 252. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
