Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Buccaneers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Buccaneers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The Moore pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Anthony Hill Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 46. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in pick No. 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at Round 3, Pick 13. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tacario Davis at the 116th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keyshaun Elliott in the 193rd pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
They jumped the gun on Brett Norfleet, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A tidy little value on Fernando Carmona in slot 229, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
