FutureB-
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Buccaneers bet big and early on J.J. Weaver, 98 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The Warren pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Benjamin Morrison
In the 31st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at No. 62 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in pick 66, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 3, Pick 20. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 94 on Malachi Moore, a safety they were not short of.
Pick119
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 156 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 181st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
They paid a round early for Jaishawn Barham in pick 188, more than the board wanted. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200
Rnd6
Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at pick No. 200. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 26 is lovely value for the linebacker. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Joey Slackman
They reached into another round for Joey Slackman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 241st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
