FutureD
The Buccaneers reached for Boyd and never recovered. Grade: F. The war room fell hard for Khristian Boyd, and it showed at the 92nd pick: 86 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Buccaneers had louder needs to answer first. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rogers.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with wide receiver still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They reached into another round for Zach Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 25. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 63 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at the 89th pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
A wild overpay on Jalyx Hunt in pick 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92
Rnd3
Khristian Boyd
Value said wait; Khristian Boyd in pick No. 92 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A tidy bit of business in the 124th overall pick, where Elijah Jones graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
James Williams
A surprising call. With wide receiver still to address, they spent the 125th pick on James Williams, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick126
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 33, with Javon Foster worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Justin Rogers in the 246th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
