FutureB-
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B. When a board-topper like Ja'Quinden Jackson slides to No. 206, you do not overthink it, and the Buccaneers did not.
They are betting Weaver proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Perkins Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In slot 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
They took Landon Jackson at par in Round 2, Pick 8, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at slot 85, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115
Rnd4
Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at the 115th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jack Bech
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Bech in pick 120, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at pick No. 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
Fair-plus on Jayden Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Harold Perkins Jr., a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick140
Rnd5
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 174th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 176 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in slot 184, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
Value with a capital V on Jaishawn Barham in the 195th overall pick, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in No. 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in pick 204 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ja'Quinden Jackson
They robbed the room for Ja'Quinden Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 211th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take De'Corian Clark this early at pick No. 229. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
