2. Is the roster set?

As previously mentioned, the Buccaneers could make another move at right guard, as hinted at by Jenna Laine of ESPN at the time of the signing of LeRibeus. Right guard is just one position the Buccaneers could still look to make a roster move to add more talent to their roster; another position being the running back group.

After averaging less than three yards per carry a year ago, the Buccaneers decided to run it back with Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones this year. Whether or not a change in blocking scheme will do the trick up front, the question remains: are these backs going to cut it? One thing we do know is that they cannot catch the ball very well.

The Buccaneers have been linked to disgruntled running back Duke Johnson of the Cleveland Browns, who is adept at both lining up in the slot and out of the backfield and catching passes. He is also the all-time leading rusher at Miami, so just because he has not been asked to run between the tackles much in his career does not mean he cannot.

Along the defensive front is another area to look for where the Buccaneers could make another roster move. While they have two solid starters in Suh and Vita Vea, the Buccaneers severely lack depth as they are left with Beau Allen, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, William Gholston, and seventh rounder Terry Beckner Jr. to fight for the last starting role and to put into a rotation.
