FutureB-
The Buccaneers turned the phones into found money: B. The Derrick Moore selection is the head-turner. The Buccaneers reached 38 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Green makes the weekend a net positive.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
David Bailey
In the 31st overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
A premium they did not need to pay, Sonny Styles a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They took Malachi Fields at par in No. 85, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in Round 3, Pick 29, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in slot 108 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in the 135th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in Round 5, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Value said wait; Zane Durant in pick No. 152 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163
Rnd5
Josh Moten
Josh Moten at slot 163 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175
Rnd5
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in No. 175 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
A conviction pick on Oscar Delp at pick 176 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Circle this one: Taylen Green at the 208th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Pat Coogan this early at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in slot 229; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
They went early on Brett Norfleet in No. 235, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
