Buccaneers | TB able to sign four draft picks Thu May 8, 06:37 PM

Link to storyTampa Bay WR Chris Godwin (ankle) will not need to rush back to the field since the team added WR Emeka Egbuka to the roster, according to general manager Jason Licht.
Footballguys view: After the Buccaneers took Egbuka in the first round last week, Licht said that the selection had nothing to do with how Godwin's rehab from a dislocated ankle is going. The Bucs were looking to the future with the Egbuka pick, but Licht noted that's also the case for Godwin. He said, "Three years in the NFL is long-term," in reference to Godwin's new contract, and that timeline is all the more reason not to overemphasize how quickly he is back in action. That makes sense. But it's still a situation to monitor closely as OTAs and other offseason work play out. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka feels like a 'luxury pick,' in the opinion of ESPN, which notes the team's depth at the receiver position makes it unclear if Egbuka would even be one of the team's top-three receivers in 2025.
Footballguys view: The Buccaneers have to think about the future at the wide receiver position with aging veterans like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the roster. Egbuka is a player with 'my ball' mentality (a former high school DB), and he does not back down from a challenge in coverage. He'll be able to learn alongside those quality veterans, and it won't take long for QB Baker Mayfield to love throwing him the ball. |
Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Footballguys view: It's a smart move for both sides. Godwin gets to stay with the Buccaneers and continue his strong chemistry with QB Baker Mayfield. Coming off an ankle injury that limited him to seven games in 2024, Godwin needs to get healthy and get back to pre-injury form. |
