FutureB-
The phones sank the Buccaneers this weekend: D-. Nobody else had Jamari Lyons anywhere near pick No. 239. The Buccaneers did, by 65 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Rodriguez pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A conviction pick on Olaivavega Ioane at slot 33 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Dani Dennis-Sutton
They liked Dani Dennis-Sutton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 12. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and No. 47 is lovely value for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65
Rnd3
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in pick 65 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
No edge and no loss on Austin Siereveld in the 75th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Joe Royer
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joe Royer in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Julian Neal worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy little value on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 112, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 113 on Jacob Rodriguez with running back unsolved.
Pick116
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 116th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in the 150th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They paid a round early for Zane Durant in pick No. 154, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They talked themselves into Bud Clark at Round 5, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They paid sticker price for Taylen Green in pick 177, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182
Rnd6
Josh Moten
No drama and no debate, Josh Moten went about where he belonged in the 182nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at Round 6, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick195
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
They let Evan Stewart come to them and pounced at pick No. 195. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
They paid up for Pat Coogan at pick 218 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
By-the-book stuff, Brett Norfleet at the 232nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamari Lyons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
