With no pressing need, Bucs look ahead

TAMPA — At first glance, offensive line doesn't seem like a pressing need for the Bucs.

They have their entire starting offensive line back from last season, with guard J.R. Sweezy now healthy after missing 2016 season due to back surgery. They are moving guard Ali Marpet to center, where they also have two former starters on the roster.

So though they have depth, if there is an opening for a rookie -- even a high draft pick -- it would be at right tackle, where veteran Demar Dotson is 31 and in a contract that carries no salary cap hit if he's released.
