It's been another productive offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and general manager Jason Licht. The Bucs kept wide receiver Chris Godwin off the market, brought Lavonte David back for another year, and added pass rush weapon Haason Reddick.
There's still work to be done for the Bucs this offseason if they're going to improve upon their NFC South division win this past year and get back into Super Bowl contention. And frankly, it doesn't seem like they're all that far off.
The needs the Bucs have don't all completely line up with the strengths of this year's NFL Draft class, but there are still plenty of ways they could look to hit those areas and find great players.
Top 3 needs remaining for the Buccaneers in 2025 (and how to address them)
1. Inside linebacker
Even after bringing back Lavonte David, one of the biggest needs remaining for the Bucs in 2025 is the inside linebacker position. One of the most popular ways to address this need lately has been sending Jihaad Campbell to the Bucs in 2025 NFL mock draft projections. Campbell could make a lot of sense because of his ability to play multiple positions and be an effective pressure player from a variety of alignments.
If the Bucs want more of the traditional off-ball linebacker and tackling machine, they might be inclined to go after UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger. Schwesinger was one of the top tacklers in all of college football this past year and has generated some serious hype lately as a potential top-50 overall pick.
2. EDGE rusher
Even after adding Haason Reddick into the fold in 2025, the Bucs should be considered one of the top threats in the draft this year to go after a first-round EDGE rusher.
There are a number of players who could make sense for them in the 1st round: Georgia's Mykel Williams, Marshall's Mike Green, Boston College's Donovan Ezeiruaku, and Texas A&M's Shemar Stewart all make some level of sense.
It gets a little tougher to project after the first round at this position group. One of the Ohio State players -- JT Tuimoloau or Jack Sawyer -- could be solid values where the Bucs are picking in the second round.
An underrated option who seems to fit the profile of players the Bucs have liked in the past is Arkansas pass rusher Landon Jackson. He's 6-foot-6 with absolutely ridiculous athletic traits.
3. Cornerback
The cornerback position might be one of the best ways to get value in the 2025 NFL Draft. There doesn't seem to be anyone in this draft that is guaranteed to go within the top 10 picks and other position groups are pushing guys down the board.
Nothing is guaranteed, but the top two prospects at corner in this class -- Michigan's Will Johnson and Texas's Jahdae Barron -- could be sitting on the board when the Bucs pick at number 19 overall.
And if that's the case, they should absolutely pounce. Again, there might not be a better way to capitalize on value in this particular draft class.
