The Buccaneers seem to have found their franchise quarterback in Jameis Winston, and while you never can tell what will happen from year one to year two – see: Robert Griffin III – Tampa Bay has to feel comfortable on the quarterback front with backup Mike Glennon.

Wide receivers will prove more interesting, and tight ends will produce some intrigue as well.  The team struggled to find consistency, and the result was just one player with more than 40 receptions on the season.  While Mike Evans and Winston each turned in respectable statistical seasons, it’s pretty clear the Bucs need options on the field outside of Evans in order to build on their 2015 performances.  Here are five of the players, participating in Day 2 of the combine, who might find their name called upon during one of Tampa’s seven picks.
