The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a history of trading back in the NFL Draft, with Jason Licht conducting the front office orchestra. The 2025 NFL Draft is less than 30 days away, and with that, we have more ideas for what the Bucs should be doing.
Chad Reuter of NFL Media wrote this week how the Bucs should be a team that should trade back in the upcoming draft.
He projects a trade be done with the Packers so they would move back only a handful of picks. The entirety of the trade is the Bucs would send the Packers the 19th and 157th overall picks in the 2025 NFL Draft while the Packers send them the 23rd and 87th overall picks.
For the reasoning behind the Bucs trade, Reuter writes, "Tampa Bay could stay put and take one of those pass-rush options. But it'd be hard for the Bucs to pass up an opportunity to convert one of their three Day 3 selections into a Day 2 pick, especially considering they'd likely still have a shot at one of those edge defenders or a new star for the secondary at Pick 23. General manager Jason Licht could then use his improved draft capital to move up in Round 2, as he did twice in the past three drafts (Luke Goedeke in 2022; Cody Mauch in 2023)."
Licht is very nimble in the NFL Draft, we have seen that. Orchestrating this type of trade back and maneuvering would be another example of that.
