FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Buccaneers to a C. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Derrick Moore at Round 4, Pick 12 is 41 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Hit on Olaivavega Ioane and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
They went early on Olaivavega Ioane in No. 33, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
They paid sticker price for Trevor Goosby in the 47th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Jacas well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Joe Royer
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Royer. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 78, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Nothing to complain about; Julian Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96
Rnd3
John Mateer
They will replay John Mateer at No. 96 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 112th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Rodriguez a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Good price on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 182nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Bud Clark
They liked Bud Clark enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 195. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick196
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
A reach for Rasheem Biles in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick197
Rnd6
Josh Moten
No drama and no debate, Josh Moten went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in slot 205 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Steal is underselling it; Taylen Green at the 212th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
Value said wait; Pat Coogan in Round 7, Pick 2 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A real head-scratcher, Barion Brown in pick No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
