After a nice haul in the 2017 NFL Draft, where do the newest members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers project to fall on the depth chart?

The Buccaneers have needs that they hope will be filled through the draft. Tampa has made strong efforts to improve offensively. The #WeaponsforWinston crowd will be extremely happy because Licht has brought in some new toys for Jameis.

Tampa also addressed the safety issue, adding depth to the position. The Buccaneers safeties have been one of the weakest groups on the team for years now. It was encouraging to see the Buccaneers use a second round pick to upgrade the position.

The Bucs also addressed the defensive line, hoping to add depth. The defensive line suffered through some injuries this past season so increasing depth definitely was needed.

Licht does not usually hit on picks 5th round and later so it will be interesting to see if there will be a late round gem this year. Without further ado, let’s find out where these rookies will be on the Bucs depth chart.
