4. WR Josh Pearson

There’s plenty of talent and depth at the wide receiver position for the Buccaneers coming into this season and four of the six open slots for the 53-man roster are already essentially filled with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Scotty Miller and incoming rookie Tyler Johnson.

Those two other spots will have plenty of competition with guys like John Franklin, Justin Watson, Bryant Mitchell and others.

Josh Pearson is one of three undrafted free-agent signings and while many analysts don’t have as much love for him, he has talent and raw skill that just simply can’t be taught.

He’s a big WR- at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds- and he showed his dominance at the FCS level. Don’t be surprised if Pearson becomes one of the leaders during preseason competition as his pure talent becomes more and more prevalent.
