FutureB+
The Buccaneers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. There is reaching, and then there is Barryn Sorrell at Round 5, Pick 19. The Buccaneers jumped the board by 169 and dared it to prove them wrong.
That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at slot 25 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They will replay Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 97th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Malachi Moore while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Value said wait; Ty Robinson in pick No. 124 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Value with a capital V on Nick Nash in pick No. 167, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the 211th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tommy Mellott
A wild overpay on Tommy Mellott in Round 7, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
