FutureB
The Buccaneers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jamari Lyons, 95 picks early at Round 7, Pick 20. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Klubnik pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Little Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A conviction pick on Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld in Round 3, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Zion Young
They paid a round early for Zion Young in pick No. 77, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at pick 84 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ian Strong
They read the board right and Ian Strong was the payoff at the 92nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zakee Wheatley at pick 94 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 4, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at slot 113 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Earl Little Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Earl Little Jr. adds a safety and leaves running back untouched.
Pick142
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 142 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aaron Graves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
They reached a country mile for Oscar Delp at the 162nd pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Trey Moore
A wild overpay on Trey Moore in No. 173, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at Round 5, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick179
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rayshaun Benny in pick 179, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd5
Josh Moten
They talked themselves into Josh Moten at the 180th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 193 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick199
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 199th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A big swing on Barion Brown at slot 213, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd7
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in Round 7, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
Value said wait; Jamari Lyons in slot 235 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
