FutureB-
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 45 lands the Buccaneers a D-, Pritchett and all. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Buccaneers reached some 60 spots for Jalyx Hunt, and value like that does not grow back. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The Pritchett value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Buccaneers indulged a want in Williams while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Value with a capital V on Chris Braswell in slot 57, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 31, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A conviction pick on Christian Mahogany at No. 88 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at the 89th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in pick No. 91, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalyx Hunt. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 124 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 25, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a linebacker in James Williams did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 145 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Khristian Boyd well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They robbed the room for Johnny Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
Steal is underselling it; Nehemiah Pritchett at Round 6, Pick 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
