The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off of a tough loss to the Tennessee Titans, where an abundance of turnovers seemed to be their undoing again.

If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose their next two games against the Seahawks and the Cardinals, they would sit at 2-7 on the year with the toughest stretch of their schedule ahead of them. There’s a good chance that Tampa Bay ends up picking in the top five in the 2020 NFL Draft if they don’t shape up soon.

The offensive line play has been poor, but they showed improvement against the Titans and were able to give Jameis Winston more time to throw than usual. The defense was mediocre and the secondary was a big part of that, as Vernon Hagreaves III and others continue to disappoint.

In other words, the Buccaneers are lacking in talent in many areas and need as much help as they can get this offseason if they want to be competitive in 2020. Tampa Bay’s scouts have already been spotted at multiple college football games this season.

With that said, the Buccaneers could soon be looking towards next season instead of towards the rest of this season. Here is this week’s Buccaneers mock draft.
