          Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2025 draft picks

          • Round 1: No. 19

          • Round 2: No. 53

          • Round 3: No. 84

          • Round 4: No. 121

          • Round 5: No. 157

          • Round 7: No. 235

          Top three needs: Edge, CB, LB. The Bucs signed Haason Reddick in free agency in hopes he can rebound after a holdout-marred season with the Jets, but that shouldn't preclude them from drafting outside pass-rush help. They also need some insurance at outside cornerback because of Jamel Dean's injury history, and they should prepare for life after Lavonte David at inside linebacker.
