The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been told they need to do about five hundred different things in the 2025 NFL Draft. They need to shore up the edge rusher position, add more depth on the defensive line, and fix the secondary. Just eight days before the draft, we have finally decided on the best-case scenario for the Bucs.
The best thing the Bucs could have fallen into their lap is one of the top-tier pass rushers falling into their lap. While Abdul Carter has about as much of a chance as being a Buc as you do of being attacked by a polar bear, grizzly bear, and a pigeon on the same day, they could have another talent fall to them.
The next two best pass rushers after Carter are James Pearce Jr. and Mike Green. Ironically enough, for them to get to the Bucs they have to fall past the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons who all have premier needs at the edge rusher position as well. If all the Bucs rivals pass on them, they need to be ready to pounce on one of them to complete their defensive front.
A nice consolation prize would be Jihaad Campbell, he also happens to be the most realistic option for the Bucs at 19. The Alabama linebacker isn't a bad choice for the team, but Jason Licht has been searching for an answer for getting a reliable edge rusher ever since he joined the team in 2014.
Green and Pearce Jr. both appear to be players who could become 10-15 sack a year players, something the Bucs need.
