Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Moore from sliding. Grade: C+.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Buccaneers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cost of the Hairston reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 21 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A tidy little value on Jared Ivey in slot 84, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at pick 157 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in the 201st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Brown Jr. a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
