The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 7-5 now, meaning Todd Bowles has brought this team closer to being average than truly great. With losses to the Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills, and New England Patriots in recent weeks, the Buccaneers have proven that they still have a way's to go before they can be considered Super Bowl contenders.
So while the Buccaneers are in the thick of the playoff hunt and still in the lead of a weak NFC South, it really isn't too early for this ever improving franchise to begin to keep one eye peeled on the draft ahead.
