The Buccaneers made it a point of emphasis to add to the defense this offseason throughout the draft and free agency. They flooded the cornerback room and added to the pass rush but one area they didn't attack heavily was the inside linebacker position. The Bucs re-signed Lavonte David at the start of free agency but outside of adding veteran Anthony Walker, they did little to reinforce the position as they did in other areas of the defense.

The Buccaneers received heavy praise for their six selections in the NFL Draft. Tampa Bay didn't go after the flashy names, but they took excellent football players with strong football character and IQ.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came away with quite the haul in the 2025 NFL Draft, even with just six selections at their disposal. So how did they do it? Value.
