Buccaneers Strengthen Their Force After 2025 NFL Draft With 20 Rookies, Including 6 Draft Picks and 14 Free Agents – How Is The Roster Changing?

After a stellar draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reshaped their roster, hoping to build off of their 2024 season.

After kicking off the draft with dynamic Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round, the Bucs prioritized production, versatility and playmaking skills the rest of the way. The Bucs attacked the defensive side of the ball with cornerbacks Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish, who offer the ability to play either corner spots. They then added to the defensive line with David Walker and Elijah Roberts, who can get to the quarterback from a variety of alignments. Tez Johnson gives the Bucs an electrifying return man, and the team added 14 undrafted free agents, including Shilo Sanders and Desmond Watson.

Combined with the moves the Bucs made in free agency, such as re-signing Lavonte David, Ben Bredeson and Chris Godwin in addition to the outside signings of pass rusher Haason Reddick and depth pieces in Anthony Walker and Kindle Vildor, the Buccaneers roster has an excellent blend of youth and experience as they head into offseason workouts and training camp. General manager Jason Licht is sure to tinker with the roster a bit more before the start of the season, but the Bucs are locked, loaded and ready for a competitive 2025 season.
