FutureA+
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Buccaneers walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Sainristil pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Simpson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
By-the-book stuff, Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than the 89th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 125 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in the Round 6 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick246
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 246th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
