Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedC TradesA+ FutureA-
A franchise passer in Moore headlines a A- weekend for the Buccaneers.

With the present handled at quarterback, the Buccaneers looked to the future and took Dante Moore anyway. You can quibble with the timing, not the position. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

That Boswell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In pick No. 24 they get the arm they will build around at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick39 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker at the 39th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
They robbed the room for Trey'Dez Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh at No. 60 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at slot 70 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
They read the board right and Devan Thompkins was the payoff at the 88th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Iapani Laloulu. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Shadre Hurst
Taking Shadre Hurst in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Boswell
Somehow Anthony Boswell was still sitting there in pick No. 172, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at pick 187 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Francis Brewu
They jumped the gun on Francis Brewu, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
