FutureC
The Buccaneers reached for Hunt and never recovered. Grade: F. Some picks age like wine; Jalyx Hunt at the 89th pick will need to, sitting 44 spots clear of his grade. It bottoms out at a F.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The Hunt pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback. Clark at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 25 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 58, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roman Wilson at No. 88 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalyx Hunt
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalyx Hunt adds a S-EDGE and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick91
Rnd3
James Williams
A wild overpay on James Williams in the 91st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in slot 126 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braelon Allen. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 244th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dwight McGlothern in the 251st overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at Round 7, Pick 35. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
