TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first and last picks in the 2025 NFL Draft were for wide receivers, Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State), Round 1, and Tez Johnson (Oregon), Round 7. In between, Tampa Bay drafted cornerback Benjamin Morris (Notre Dame),

Analysis from USA TODAY Sports' Nate Davis: High character, high production – his 205 catches the most ever by a Buckeyes player. Egbuka should give the Bucs quite a wideout trifecta as he teams with WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin moving forward – especially since he and Godwin can work interchangeably from the slot.

"Double-dipping was the clear strategy for the Bucs in 2025 with two picks apiece dedicated to receiver, cornerback and edge rusher. The smartest teams draft for the future, anticipating rather than reacting, and that is precisely the strategy GM Jason Licht and the Bucs took in nabbing Emeka Egbuka at No. 19 overall."
