The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' immediate future looks to be a promising one. Recent offseasons have seen this team retain some high-level players, and at key positions, which should set this roster up for success in the coming years.
Whether it's been via free agency or trade, the Bucs have done more than just a satisfactory job continuing to build the team in a post-Tom Brady era. But, don't forget what the team has done by way of the NFL Draft.
Over the last few years, the Bucs have found some great players they've been able to retain such as safety Antoine Winfield Jr., Tristan Wirfs, Vita Vea, Chris Godwin and even dating back to Mike Evans, among others.
The draft is the no. 1 way an organization can set itself up for success in the future. We know free agency and the ever-so-often trades are also important. But, the draft is where teams are built for sustained success. Now, it's time to look ahead to future drafts and just how much capital the Bucs have going forward.
A quick recap of the Bucs' 2024 draft class, before we get into future years:
Round 1, Pick 26: Graham Barton, IOL, Duke
Round 2, Pick 57: Chris Braswell, OLB, Alabama
Round 3, Pick 89: Tykee Smith, S, Georgia
Round 3, Pick 92: Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
Round 4, Pick 125: Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon
Round 6, Pick 220: Elijah Klein, G, UTEP
Round 7, Pick 246: Devin Culp, TE, Washington

The only note needed for the Bucs' current 2025 draft capital comes in the sixth round, which was a pick included in the deal that sent Carlton Davis to the Detroit Lions. Remember, though, the Bucs landed a third rounder in that trade which ended up turning into Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan.
