FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Buccaneers to a D-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Buccaneers started one anyway for Jalyx Hunt, 39 picks ahead of schedule.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Cooper at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 36 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They read the board right and T'Vondre Sweat was the payoff at the 57th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and No. 63 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 78th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Value with a capital V on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 89, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
James Williams
A curious use of pick 93. Quarterback needed the pick; a linebacker in James Williams did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Beaux Limmer
Value said wait; Beaux Limmer in the 95th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 4, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in slot 125. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in the 131st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at No. 133, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 173rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reach for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 220th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 246 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
