Even if Buccaneers move on from Jameis Winston, they should not draft QB

A blueprint for the 2020 NFL Draft

Teams are also designing their roster to take advantage of quarterbacks on their rookie deals as well, so what sense does it make to add a rookie quarterback on a team that is far from ready to win? In the 2020 NFL Draft, there is depth aplenty at these cornerstone positions, especially at the offensive tackle position.

If the Bucs were smart, they would use the 2020 NFL Draft to focus on adding young talent at these cornerstone positions: take an offensive tackle with their first round pick and an edge rusher with their second round pick. There is a chance they could land an elite tackle like Andrew Thomas or Tristan Wirfs while still adding a high ceiling edge rusher in the second round.

There was also a rumor that the Bucs were looking to add another first round pick at the trade deadline, so there is a chance that they could sneak back into the first round as well. Some late first to early second round edge rushers to keep an eye on are Curtis Weaver of Boise State, Yetur Gross-Matos of Penn State, and even potentially LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson.

In year one of a potential rebuild, adding an elite tackle and solid pass rusher for the future would be a massive win in Tampa.
