Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Buccaneers get a C+.

Nobody else had Derrick Moore anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Buccaneers did, by 33 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection.
Pick52 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
They paid up for A'Mauri Washington at the 52nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in pick 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at pick No. 159 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the 200th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in No. 234; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
