Hurst's clear path to early playing time and long-term upside make him a top-of-round-2 target.
The Bucs drafted Hurst in the third round. Hurst is immediately the WR4 on the depth chart ahead of Tez Johnson, and would not be surprised to crack the Week 1 starting lineup with only Jalen McMillan to beat out for that job. The runway for Hurst is clearer than it might appear at first glance. The Bucs could easily let Chris Godwin walk after the 2026 season, as they have an out with a 16.3 million dead cap hit, which would also be Godwin's age-31 season. Hurst is the upside swing to take in rookie drafts at the top of the second round. Don't be shocked if Hurst and Emeka Egbuka are leading the Bucs passing attack entering 2027 after he puts up a solid rookie campaign.
