FutureC
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B, for the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
They banked enough surplus on Sturdivant to cover a lot of smaller sins. If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 10 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They paid up for Trey Benson at pick No. 42 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 43rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 74 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
James Williams
They reached into another round for James Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
Taking J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 6, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Storm Duck
Storm Duck in pick No. 231 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
