With few holes, Bucs could focus on continuing to build their defense

TAMPA, Fla. -- After re-signing nearly all of their players on defense from their Super Bowl win, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t have major pressing needs going into the 2021 NFL draft. Coach Bruce Arians did say, however, that they’re looking for speed and physicality on defense that will translate into immediate production on special teams, depth on both lines of scrimmage and a quarterback who can learn under Tom Brady -- if the right one is available.

First, it should be noted that because there was no NFL combine this year, all timing was done at pro days by hand and testing surfaces vary from program to program, which can skew the numbers.
