Photo by David Jensen/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Graham Barton may be a difficult prospect for Jason Licht to refuse. In Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers are coming off their fourth consecutive winning season. Even a team that has captured three division titles, over the last three seasons, still has holes to fill across their roster. Fingers can be pointed at the largest need on Tampa’s roster— likely edge rusher, but the trenches are just as crucial on offense as they are on defense. The Buccaneers have not been able to turn around, hand the ball off, and get consistent production in quite so ..read more

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Tampa Bay’s young corner is embracing the opportunities for the new season. The Buccaneers trade of Carlton Davis III to the Detroit Lions this offseason came as a bit of a shock since it’s not everyday teams trade away their top cornerback. They do so, however, when they feel confident enough in others on the depth chart. And the Bucs feel that way with cornerback Zyon McCollum. Tampa Bay has thrown the 24-year-old onto the field often the last two seasons and at times with no other choice. With the time Davis often missed as well as other cornerback Ja ..read more

Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images Another potential target for Buccaneers secondary reinforcements. If the Buccaneers plan to aim for a high-level talent to inject into their newly opened outside corner competition, this is a good draft to invest in afirst-rounder at the position. If Tampa wants someone polished and as ready as possible to contribute, they won’t find too many other options in their first-round range better than Kool-Aid McKinstry.

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images The McCaffrey name has a fairly large NFL legacy. Who’s next? During our Casey Washington draft profile we detailed how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been without an overly reliable third pass catching option since the exceptional departure of Antonio Brown. Russell Gage, Julio Jones, and Trey Palmer have all had their moments in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ uniform. None have been near the fear evoking presence of Tampa Bay’s offense when Antonio Brown was behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the depth chart. This year, in the NFL Draft, Tampa Bay’s biggest nee ..read more

Photo by Steve Limentani/ISI Photos/Getty Images The Bucs might look to upgrade their secondary early. When the Buccaneers traded away Carlton Davis to the Detroit Lions in March, that opened speculation that they might seek a youth movement at the position. In a deep draft class full of interesting corners, the Bucs will have their shot at a plethora of talented young men with 4 picks in the first 100. Will they find intrigue in someone like Kamari Lassiter?

Sara Diggins/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK The Bucs could look to upgrade the tight end position again in this year’s draft Cade Otton stepped up last season and showed he can be a TE1 in the NFL, especially for this Buccaneers offense. And while they used a draft pick on Payne Durham last year, the position could still be upgraded moving forward. Ko Kieft has his role as a blocker while Otton and Durham flashed as pass catchers with Durham coming on late in the year, However, Otton took 97% of offensive snaps in 2023 and that just isn’t sustainable. The Bucs are going to need another ..read more

The Bucs could be targeting cornerback early in this year’s draft With the NFL Draft now just a few weeks away, the Buccaneers will be narrowing down who they could be targeting in the draft and what areas of need they have. One of those needs could very well be in the secondary and more specifically the cornerback position. After trading away Carlton Davis, Tampa Bay could be looking for someone to pair with Jamel Dean and that is where Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr comes into the fold. Ennis Rakestraw Jr’s Collegiate Career Rakestraw Jr played at the University of Missouri for four seasons ..read more
