For general manager Jason Licht, the upcoming NFL draft could be make or break. Here are three ways for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the draft.
For a year that was full of high expectations, the 2018 draft was lackluster for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defensive tackle and first round pick Vita Vea had a slow start to the season, but did pick up his game towards the end of the year. Vea will also fit into a 3-4 system much better than in a 4-3, and this year the belief is that his play will improve at nose tackle rather than a pure defensive tackle.
Second round pick running back Ronald Jones had a poor first year, and third round corner M.J. Stewart is trying a move to safety. These first few rounds set the tone for draft success or lack thereof, and after last year the Bucs have a renewed need to win in this draft.
With one week to go until the 2019 NFL Draft, the blueprint for the Buccaneers to win the draft has been laid out into three steps. Needing to nail down a successful draft leading into a crucial 2019 season, here are three steps necessary for the Buccaneers to end next weekend as winners of the draft.
