The Bucs started out hot in 2025 with massive wins over teams like the Houston Texans and the eventual Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. Down the stretch, they fell apart, though, as injuries stacked up and the defense collapsed while the offense sputtered.

All in all, this draft class for the Bucs in 2026 was going to prove pivotal, and early returns on paper are promising for the group. Several folks have given the class an A, while others are singing its praises on TV. Some of those people doing that include ESPN's Dan Orlovsky.

When speaking on the class the Bucs just put together, Orlovsky stated, "I thought the Rueben Bain Jr. pick and the Keionte Scott pick in the 4th round, were both outstanding picks. The Buccaneers continue to draft well. They were a very good football team last year, dealt with little injuries down the stretch. . .I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gonna be a fantastic group again."

The pairing of Bain and Scott should have fans excited. The two were part of a three-headed monster for the Hurricanes in 2025 when they made their run to the National Championship. The Bucs need to be more successful, not just more aggressive, in 2026.

The additions of Bain and Scott should allow for them to achieve just that.
