Jacksonville moved back into the first round in 2022 for linebacker Devin Lloyd, sending Tampa Bay picks No. 33, No. 106 and No. 180. Lloyd became a productive four-year starter and Pro Bowl player. Tampa Bay countered with defensive lineman Logan Hall and tight end Cade Otton, both durable multi-year contributors, plus another pick. The Buccaneers' depth of return narrowly exceeds Jacksonville's excellent single player.

Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
Jacksonville traded picks No. 33, No. 106 and No. 180 to Tampa Bay on April 28, 2022, receiving the 27th selection. The Jaguars drafted linebacker Devin Lloyd. Tampa Bay used No. 33 on defensive lineman Logan Hall and No. 106 on tight end Cade Otton, while No. 180 became part of later draft movement. The deal exchanged one premium prospect for three chances and gave Tampa Bay a broad path to recoup value.
Why Tampa Bay Gets the Edge
The Buccaneers hit on two substantial pieces. Hall became a regular defensive-line contributor, while Otton developed into a durable starting tight end and had surpassed 2,000 career receiving yards by the end of 2025. Getting two multi-year contributors from the trade-down gave Tampa Bay dependable value on both sides of the ball. The extra sixth-round pick added flexibility beyond those two selections.
How Jacksonville Fared
Lloyd was also a successful pick. He started throughout his rookie contract, played 63 games through 2025 and earned Pro Bowl recognition. Jacksonville therefore received the best individual player from the direct exchange, which is why its grade remains strong. The question is whether one standout linebacker outweighs two long-term starters and additional capital.
Final Verdict
Tampa Bay earns a B+ and Jacksonville a B. This is not a lopsided result: Lloyd justified the Jaguars' move back into Round 1. The Buccaneers simply generated more total roster value by landing Hall and Otton while preserving another asset. The depth and duration of Tampa Bay's return create a narrow Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win.
