The draft is over. Some people loved it, some people liked it, some people hated it. For posterity, post your draft with the players that were available when the Bucs picked. If you don't play, you don't get bitch about the selections later.
I'll start:
1. Jahdae Barron - CB - Texas
2. Mike Green - Edge - Marshall
3. Xavier Watts - S - ND
4. Jack Sawyer - Edge - Ohio State
5. Chris Paul Jr. - MLB - Ole Miss
7. Isaiah Bond - WR - Tex (I did like Tez here too)
Nice thread Biggsy.
Agree on your positions, and while I have multiple analyst-driven simulations of proposed names - my closest specific picks (from memory, as I hate digging through thread topics), at the time of picking were:
1) Malaki Starks (Matthew Golden)
S Georgia
2) Maxwell Hairston
CB Kentucky
3) Chris Paul Jr.
LB Ole Miss
4) David Walker
EDGE Central Arkans...
5) Nohl Williams
CB California
7) Howard Cross Ill
I included a photo of the screenshot of my draft sim - not sure it will post here.
Now this was about 10 days before the draft, and I modified my first round selection a few days before the draft, after hearing the plan for Safety was to move Tykee Smith to Strong Safety - so I could substitute Matthew Golden as my 1st round pick.
I can’t claim to have seen David Walker as a top developmental edge - but I did love/promote Josaiah Stewart as our developmental edge (behind Reddick), but after several sums, became convinced he wouldn’t be there when we picked, so I “settled” on Walker.
1. Jahdae Barron - CB - Texas
2. Mike Green - Edge - Marshall
3. Nohl Williams - CB - CAL
4. David Walker - Edge - Cent. Arkansas (liked Josh Farmer here too)
5. Chris Paul Jr. - MLB - Ole Miss
7. Tez Johnson - WR - Oregon
3. Nohl Williams - CB - CAL
Interesting. Why do you prefer him over Parrish?
They appear to be opposites in a way as prospects, because Williams has more collegiate production (w/lots of penalties) but Parrish is the better (bigger and faster) athlete. Pretty classic production vs. projection argument for these two prospects, IMO. It will be interesting to watch which guy becomes the better pro.
Don’t know about DH - but I didn’t think Barron would be available. I was surprised he didn’t go before 20th overall?3. Nohl Williams - CB - CAL

I agree with 2, 4, and 5. Put me on record for that for sure. Greene, Sawyer, Paul... Not taking Paul was a true head scratcher.
1, 3, and 7 I like Licht's picks.

Agreed. I thought he was a top-15 pick, easy. I had him as BPA, and it was a position of need.

As you mentioned, some of it had to do with the production difference.
Taller, slightly better measurable, and way better production (as mentioned).
Just think he's better as a press man corner on the boundary.
Don't hate the Parrish pick by any means. Had them neck and neck in rankings.

Likewise.
