Biggest Needs for the Buccaneers

Edge Rusher

The Bucs' biggest need may be this position. Finding a young pass rusher should be top priority for Licht, who did already add edge rusher Hassan Reddick in free agency. The team will likely look for another edge rusher to complement them and boost the defense.

Wide Receiver

While having 2-star receivers isn't bad, the Bucs may look to get younger at this position. Wide receiver Jalen McMillan showed potential last season, but the Bucs may look for additional depth behind him. Look for Tampa Bay to take a receiver in the middle rounds.

Cornerback

With the loss of Carlton Davis III, the Bucs will look to upgrade this young secondary. Licht may look at drafting a corner early in this draft as they look for a true shutdown corner.

This draft is an important one as the team continues to build out its roster for 2025. Fans will be eager to see who the Buccaneers draft starting tonight.
