Buccaneers land Tom Brady What Tampa Bay must do next to help him win seventh Super Bowl

Wiki Article

Now that is of the , it's time to explore what other moves GM Jason Licht should make to strengthen his roster with the club's Super Bowl window now.1 and 2. Addre s the offensive lineI have to start with this -- the Buccaneers, a club long with the reputation of having a porous blocking unit, quietly built a sturdy offensive line, especially on the interior, over the past few seasons. Steven Wright Jersey That, however, does not mean Licht's work is done.Center is one of the best players at his position. is an elite pa s protector at right guard. But the other guard position has featured a rotation of and , neither of which have been good enough that the Buccaneers should not explore po sibilities to upgrade.Left tackle , picked in Round 2 in 2015, has been wildly inconsistent, with Pro Bowl caliber highs and cap casualty lows, but is signed through 2022 after signing an extension a year ago. At right tackle, veteran Demar Dotson has been rock solid for many seasons in Tampa but is an impending free agent and turns 35 this year. On the free-agent market, the pool of talent at offensive tackle has dried, meaning the Buccaneers need to turn their attention to the draft, particularly the early stage of it, to pinpoint and draft a starter on the right side.If Alabama's Jedrick Wills is available at No. 14 overall, he should be the selection. After a slow start to his career with the Crimson Tide, the No. 7 overall recruit in the high school cla s of 2017 per 247 Sports took a sizable step forward in his junior season. While sometimes a tick slow sustaining his speed in his kick slide on pa s plays, Wills tapped into his natural twitchine s in 2019 to routinely get into perfect position to stymie rushers.Also, he's Wade Boggs Jersey a bulldozer in the run game thanks to brute strength and a sturdy, balanced base. He has the makings of being a steady right tackle in the NFL for a decade. Importantly for Tampa, he has two full years of right tackle experience. The other offensive tackles in the "big five" -- Tristan Wirfs, Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton, and -- were all (mainly) left tackles in college. As for the guard spot opposite Marpet, Day 2 of the draft is the sweet spot for that position. If the Buccaneers want power while sacrificing lateral movement, LSU's Damien Lewis, Louisiana-Lafayette's Robert Hunt, or Georgia's Solomon Kindley would be viable options. If le s power but better balance is prioritized, Ohio State's Jonah Jackson be a sensible selections. Auburn's Jack Driscoll would fit if Tampa emphasizes athleticism at the position and isn't as concerned about road-grading strength.Fresno State's Netane Muti, to me, is the best of the guard group in this cla s, but each of his last two seasons in college ended prematurely due to injury.3. Finding a pa s-catching running backThe Buccaneers have a legitimate argument as the team with the top receiver tandem in the NFL with and newly Collin McHugh Jersey minted All-Pro . and O.J. Howard haven proven to be a solid tight end pairing, even if Howard has never lived up to his ridiculous athletic talents and first-round draft status. Breshad Perriman resurrected his career in Tampa last season by finishing third on the team in receptions with 36 -- Evans was second with 67 -- but is currently a free agent. The Buccaneers should look for an upgrade at No. 3 wideout, but Perriman ended the season on a high note with five or more catches and over 100 yards in three-consecutive games, so it wouldn't be foolish if they re-sign him.If they don't and another free-agent wideout isn't added, the receiver cla s is absolutely loaded with top-end talent and an Ted Williams Jersey insane amount of depth. Tampa could easily go that route for its No. 3 wideout. Heck, even 2019 draftee Scott Miller, who averaged a hefty 15.4 yards per grab as a rookie, could sneak into that role.But Brady loves targeting running backs. No, I mean, he's obse sed. And it'd be logical for the Buccaneers to make Brady's transition to a new scheme as seamle s as po sible by providing the 20-year veteran with some familiar offensive elements. How much does Brady love throwing to backs? The below table shows the percentage of 'targets over the past five seasons and how those rates have ranked among all NFL running backs. Staggering figures.Target Share %NFL rank among RBs2019 17%6th2018 James White22%2nd2017 James White14%12th2016 James White16%4th2015 18%1stDare Ogunbowale led all Buccaneers backs with a 7% target share in 2019. Yikes. However, Arians' history does show he's willing to relatively prominently feature his running back as a receiver.Both in 2016 and 2017, saw 19% of the ' targets, a rate that tied for the second-most in the league among running backs when Arians was the head coach there. So there's hope for Brady's affinity to lean on running backs targets.We've Fred Lynn Jersey now realized ball carriers are best valued on the third day of the draft, with the occasional exception being made for a high-level talent at the position in Round 3. Fortunately for the Buccaneers, the third to fifth round is likely where the bulk of the excellent pa s-catching running backs are likely to be valued by the rest of the NFL in this cla s.Arizona State's Eno Benjamin caught 77 pa ses over the past two years for the Sun Devils and has White-like elusivene s in space with a compact frame and contact balance. Third or fourth round for him. LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire was security blanket for Joe Burrow in 2019, as the ultra-shifty, fire hydrant of a back caught 55 pa ses. Same draft range for him.Later, Florida's Lamichel Perine -- who caught 40 pa ses in 2019 -- or the tiny but twitchy J.J. Taylor from Arizona who caught 48 balls over the past two seasons, would be fantastic fits with Brady in Tampa Bay.
