Buccaneers offseason plan to make the most of Kyle Trask

The Buccaneers need to add playmakers for Kyle Trask

Tom Brady elevated the talent around him. For a rookie starter, you’ll need the surrounding talent to make life as easy as possible for the quarterback. The Bucs have a good group of weapons for Trask, but they will certainly need more.

Re-signing Chris Godwin is key number one. Few receivers in the league are better after the catch, and accumulating guys with this skill set is vital for a quarterback with a weaker arm than Brady.

Scheming pass-catchers open and letting them make moves in space will make life much easier for Trask than forcing him to zip the ball through tight windows down the field as Brady did.

Whether it is through screens, drags, or any other short to intermediate route, Trask will need his receivers to step up to keep his efficiency as high as possible.

Look for the Bucs to get busy in the draft with one of their early picks for a solid option, and free agency should have some decent budget options as well. Cordarrelle Patterson’s name is already drawing some attention as a do-everything guy that can keep the offensive threat varied out of the backfield or lined up outside.

Another position to look at is tight end. It is no secret that Trask’s favorite target while at Florida was Kyle Pitts, and keeping a big-bodied option like that to make Trask’s life as easy as possible is a good place to start.

There are some serious red flags with O.J. Howard and Evan Engram, but either player could be an interesting fit in Tampa for Trask if the price tag is right.

Regardless of where they come from, the Buccaneer pass-catchers better be ready to make guys miss in space if the offense under Kyle Trask is going to work.
