FutureB-
The Buccaneers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The phones were a trap the Buccaneers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They are betting Hunt proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Hunt while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
Value with a capital V on T'Vondre Sweat in the 57th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 26, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cedric Gray this early at No. 92. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
James Williams
They took James Williams at par in slot 124, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 125 on Jalyx Hunt, a S-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick131
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at the 131st overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 133 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 176th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 45, where Jared Wiley graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
