For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at Buccaneers position groups and comparing them to the rest of the NFC South’s. Today we look at the receivers.

When the Buccaneers signed a speed-demon ex-Redskin and Eagle, it seemed the Bucs hype train gained full steam.

However, the 19th overall selection in this year’s NFL Draft went to bolster the receiving corps for young Jameis Winston, and the hype is higher than ever at this stage in the game.

Still, the Falcons have a formidable stable of options for their quarterback to throw to.

Drew Brees is always a threat for big yards, but losing Brandin Cooks will hurt, right?

Finally, if Cam Newton is going to bounce back from a sub par MVP encore, he’s going to need his weapons to step up.

So which quarterback has the best targets heading into 2017? Let’s get into it!
