it is evident that this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team has had one goal in mind all offseason: run it back.
Last year was fun and all, but if anything, they proved they can hang. So, why not give it another shot and hope that things are even better after a year with this core?
The offseason has seen the Bucs retain some key players as their biggest free agent moves, and justifiably so. But, there are a few decisions the Bucs have (or have not yet) made that might come back to haunt them from the offseason.
What are these decisions and how can they potentially rectify them?
1. Not getting a difference-maker at tight end could become a problem
The Bucs don't currently have a true difference-making tight end on their roster; someone who can be effective and dangerous in the passing game. Cade Otton is fine. He's a guy that will simply do his job. He's a fine red zone target as well.
But, he's not going to change games single-handedly. He will hardly change a drive by himself. The Bucs could have opted to go after a guy like Mike Gesicki or even Dalton Schultz, but they didn't. So, in this year's draft, the only two options they might end up with are Brock Bowers out of Georgia or Ja'Tavion Sanders out of Texas.
Bowers is likely going to be gone by the time the Bucs are on the clock in the first round, but at no. 57 in the second round, the Bucs might be able to land Sanders.
However, if they fail to bring in a difference-maker at the position, that's one less worry defenses will have when going up against this Bucs offense.
