Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka was reportedly a trade-up target for the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans before he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 19th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "My understanding was that there were two teams both trying to trade up: It was the Texans and the Rams. And the moment the Bucs surprised everybody by taking Emeka Egbuka, the receiver from Ohio State, the calls stopped. Those teams were calling all the teams above them and, all of a sudden, the calls stopped. So that's the belief that Egbuka was the guy," Pelissero told The Dan Patrick Show.
Huddle Up: The biggest shock was where Egbuka landed. Egbuka was considered the most pro-ready receiver in the draft. He also lived in the slot at Ohio State, which is something that likely appealed to the Rams and Texans long-term. Redraft managers should consider Egbuka more of a WR5 option right now barring any bad news regarding Chris Godwin's recovery from his Week 7 ankle injury.

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.
Huddle Up: All signs point to Chris Godwin (ankle) being on schedule in his recovery from a nasty ankle injury, Mike Evans has topped 1,000 yards in each of his 11 seasons, and Jalen McMillan scored eight times as a rookie third-round pick a season ago. There also looks to be some overlap with Egbuka and Godwin, who re-signed during the offseason, as both are primarily slot receivers. This certainly feels like a selection with an eye on 2026, when Evans will be a free agent headed toward his age-33 season. Of the three wideouts drafted Thursday night, Egbuka has by far the shakiest outlook for fantasy value. Unless he leap-frogs McMillan during the preseason, or Godwin/Evans deal with injury, he's probably only worth attention in keeper formats.

Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Egbuka will join a receiving room that features Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but Godwin is coming off an injury and Evans isn't getting any younger. Egbuka will have upside as a depth option in redraft leagues, and his value only goes up in dynasty formats.
