After a very disappointing season, all eyes now turn toward the upcoming Apex Draft, where Tampa Bay has an opportunity to change the direction of the franchise.
Quarterback is clearly a need, and that will make the Buccaneers one of the most interesting teams to watch when they’re on the clock. But QB isn’t the only possibility. Tampa Bay has been keeping a close eye on the talented tight end out of Alabama, and the big question is whether the front office views him as enough of a difference-maker to use its first pick on him.
Could he become a cornerstone of the offense? Does Tampa go after its quarterback of the future instead? Or will another prospect rise up the board before draft night?
After a down season, there isn’t much room for error. The turnaround starts in the draft—and Tampa Bay’s first pick could tell us exactly where this franchise is headed.
