FutureC
A weekend the Buccaneers spent ahead of the board, for worse: F. When the story of this class is written, it opens with DeMonte Capehart at the 249th pick, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in the 58th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A clean, defensible pick in slot 63 with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at the 89th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
James Williams
James Williams at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
They talked themselves into Jalyx Hunt at pick 98, and the board did not agree. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 127, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in the 132nd overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 204 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brevyn Spann-Ford well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244
Rnd7
Christian Jones
The board fumbled Christian Jones all the way to slot 244, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 29 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
A tidy bit of business in the 255th pick, where Taulia Tagovailoa graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
