The Raiders traded pick No. 124 to Tampa Bay for Nos. 128 and 218, then selected Jon Feliciano and Anthony Morris. Feliciano became a durable NFL lineman, though much of his eventual starting success came after leaving Oakland. Tampa Bay used No. 124 on linebacker Kwon Alexander, who started immediately, became the center of the Buccaneers defense and earned a Pro Bowl selection. Tampa Bay captured the greater team-specific value.

Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
Tampa Bay traded picks No. 128 and 218 to the Raiders for pick No. 124 in the 2015 draft. The Buccaneers selected LSU linebacker Kwon Alexander. Oakland used No. 128 on Miami guard Jon Feliciano and No. 218 on Tennessee State tackle Anthony Morris. The move was small in draft position but meaningful in outcome because both clubs were targeting developmental players who could fill specific roster needs.
Why Tampa Bay Targeted Alexander
Alexander's speed made him an appealing fit at middle linebacker, and Tampa Bay did not wait for him to fall four more spots. He won a starting role immediately and became one of the defense's most visible young players. Across four Buccaneers seasons he started whenever healthy, piled up tackles and earned a Pro Bowl selection for the 2017 season. Injuries limited his final year in Tampa Bay, but the team still received several seasons of starting-caliber linebacker play from the move.
How Oakland's Return Aged
Feliciano became a good NFL player, which keeps the Raiders from receiving a poor grade. His strongest years, however, came later with Buffalo, New York and San Francisco rather than during his four seasons in Oakland. He appeared regularly for the Raiders but started only intermittently. Morris did not become a meaningful NFL contributor. That leaves Oakland with useful depth from the trade but not the same peak or team-specific impact Tampa Bay received from Alexander.
Final Verdict
Both clubs found an NFL-caliber player, but the Buccaneers found theirs in the role and window they were targeting. Alexander became an immediate starter, a defensive leader and a Pro Bowler while still in Tampa Bay. Feliciano's later career validates Oakland's scouting, yet much of that value accrued elsewhere. Tampa Bay wins because the best realized production from the transaction happened in a Buccaneers uniform.
