Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't deviate from draft philosophy just to fill holes on roster

TAMPA, Fla. -- With the free-agency market whittling down and the NFL draft set to kick off Thursday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have holes to fill.

They have not re-signed defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh or tight end Rob Gronkowski. And while they traded for offensive guard Shaq Mason – who is expected to take over at right guard for Alex Cappa after he signed with the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason -- they still have another guard spot up for grabs after the unexpected retirement of Ali Marpet.
