STACKED’s take

Irving's volume capped by Gainwell and Tucker; needs elite efficiency in 18th-ranked offense.

Ian Hartitz ranks Bucky Irving RB26 (pick 60) vs. Sleeper ADP of RB17 (pick 36), fading him despite strong 2024. Irving faces injury concerns from 2025 and limited volume upside: he's the lead back but Kenneth Gainwell operates in 1B pass-down role and Sean Tucker out-carried Irving 9-0 inside the 5-yard line last season, leaving Irving with "between-the-20s" role in Buccaneers offense ranked 18th by Vegas. Hartitz dislikes early-round picks requiring elite efficiency to compensate for volume limitations when superior receivers and Colston Loveland remain available.
