What’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers biggest need this offseason? Generally speaking, the answer is assumed to be wide receiver. With Vincent Jackson leaving, the Bucs have only one outside receiver in Mike Evans, with Adam Humphries as a competent supplementary slot receiver.
Not everyone agrees, though, which is why we’ve seen a fairly big variety in picks in mock drafts. And at least one offseason analyst looks elsewhere, too. According to Rotoworld’s Evan Silva, the Bucs should first look to fill the hole at defensive back.
The Bucs’ biggest secondary need is safety, where SS Bradley McDougald’s contract is up and fellow free agent FS Chris Conte lost his job to Keith Tandy, who is now entering a contract year.
