3 2020 NFL Draft needs Tampa Bay Buccaneers must prepare for now
By Cory Kinnan
After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers added a world of talent in the 2019 NFL Draft, here are three positions they must prepare to address in next year’s draft.
The 2019 NFL Draft just happened over two months ago, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have holes on the roster that must be field. The free agent field is now practically dry, so the best bet for the Bucs is to look forward to the 2020 NFL Draft. While the Buccaneers will have some money to spend in free agency, it is always a risk to spend big money on players changing systems rather than adding young players on rookie deals.
This offseason, the Buccaneers shored up the linebacking core and the secondary with the additions of Devin White, Sean Murphy-Bunting, and Mike Edwards through the draft. The Buccaneers also added the likes of Deone Bucannon and Kentrell Brice in free agency to help bolster those two position groups as well. However, the Buccaneers may have over-prioritized some positions while neglecting others.
As their future looks to be taking an upward turn with the hiring of new head coach Bruce Arians and adding real clubhouse leaders like White, the Buccaneers must continue to build upon this foundation. Before the 2019 seasons even starts, here are three positions the Buccaneers must begin doing a deep dive on already in order to prep for the 2020 draft.
