The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a crucial 2025 NFL Draft, where they have pressing needs across their roster, particularly in edge rushing, defensive line depth, and secondary improvements. The ideal scenario would see a top-tier pass rusher fall into their lap, but with teams like the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons also eyeing edge prospects, this could be challenging.

Among the potential targets are James Pearce Jr. and Mike Green, both of whom could significantly bolster the Buccaneers' defense with their potential to deliver double-digit sacks annually. Should they miss out on these top talents, Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell is a more realistic option. Ultimately, securing a reliable edge rusher remains a priority for Tampa Bay as they look to rejuvenate their defensive front.
