FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Buccaneers this weekend: B. The tape said wait; the Buccaneers did not. Xavian Sorey Jr. went at the 214th pick, a good 138 picks before the board was ready.
They banked enough surplus on Allar to cover a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
The Louis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quincy Rhodes Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Denzel Boston at No. 35. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
A conviction pick on Caleb Tiernan at pick No. 86 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the 96th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Zane Durant
A wild overpay on Zane Durant in No. 120, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
A want over a need in the 121st pick: Kyle Louis adds a linebacker while running back keeps waiting.
Pick132
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
They reached a country mile for Oscar Delp at Round 4, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Sammy Omosigho
They bypassed pressing needs at running back to take Sammy Omosigho, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dane Key
Dane Key at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the 159th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at slot 172 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
Josh Moten
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Moten. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Value said wait; Barion Brown in pick No. 203 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in the 211th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214
Rnd6
Xavian Sorey Jr.
A big swing on Xavian Sorey Jr. at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217
Rnd6
Brett Norfleet
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brett Norfleet well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at pick 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242
Rnd7
PJ Williams
PJ Williams at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Brandon Inniss
Good price on Brandon Inniss in the 248th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
