Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Strong Draft Class Leads to Success in 2024

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a remarkable 2024 season, and a significant factor in their success was the strong draft class they assembled. According to NFL.com writer Gennaro Filice, the Bucs’ draft class was ranked at an impressive No. 5 overall.

One standout rookie from the draft class was Bucky Irving, who not only excelled as the best rookie running back but also showcased his elusiveness as one of the most dynamic players in the league. Irving’s ability to force missed tackles and contribute both in the running and passing game was a key factor in the team’s success.

Additionally, rookie defensive back Tykee Smith made a significant impact in his role as a versatile defender, despite being sidelined for a few games due to injury. First-round pick Graham Barton also proved to be a valuable addition, providing stability at the center position and helping improve the team’s rushing offense.

Looking ahead, the Bucs will need to maintain their success by drafting another stellar class of rookies in the upcoming spring. With the right additions, the team can build on their achievements and continue to compete at a high level in the league.
