Potential options at running back for Buccaneers in 2020

Running back is not the type of position that most teams should invest a lot in as injuries are prevalent and teams like the Buccaneers care far more about the pass than the run.

Many serviceable running backs can be found in the later rounds that would compliment Ronald Jones while not replacing him and also not putting Tampa Bay on the hook for a big contract down the road.

AJ Dillon had an excellent combine and was able to show off impressive speed relative to his massive frame. Dillon could line up at fullback or could pick up the slack on the goal line where Jones is less advanced and also would not require a third-round pick to bring in.

Lamical Perine is another option that would be available to the Buccaneers in one of the later rounds. He doesn’t have the size or speed that Dillon possesses but he would be able to provide some relief for Jones in the middle of games.

Sticking with power backs to compliment Jones, Mike Warren is built like a wrecking ball and would play like that, especially in goal-line situations. He wouldn’t require a high draft pick or challenge Jones for the starting job, but he would provide the Buccaneer offense with a suitable change of pace.
