Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Offseason moves signal offensive line not a worry

Summary:

The Tampa Bay offensive line is not nearly as bad as it is perceived, and with multiple holes on the defensive side of the ball, Licht would not be a good steward of resources to invest a high draft pick on the front five of the offense in 2019.

While Dotson is aging and on the last year of his deal, it is possible that the Bucs could look to tab his replacement, but it would make more logical sense to add a later round pick in the fifth or sixth, who is raw, but has the size and tools to be groomed into a quality starter. Can you be interested in an Oli Udoh from Elon, Isaiah Prince from Ohio State, or a Max Scharping from Northern Illinois and instead adding elite defensive talent in the first three rounds?

Right Guard is the only real hole along the offensive line, but after taking Cappa with a third round pick just a year ago, it would be extremely unwise and a poor decision to move on from him without even giving him a chance and investing another valuable asset at the position. Later round options to add depth and have a fallback plan in Tampa Bay include Michael Jordan from Ohio State, Beau Benzschawel from Wisconsin, or Dru Samia from Oklahoma.

Take a deep breath and relax, the Tampa Bay offensive line is not in as much ruin as it is perceived to be. The Buccaneers are more likely to run with what they have in 2019 rather than invest a top asset in the offensive line next month. If you do not agree with this, then brace yourself to be upset at the inevitable when the draft rolls around.
