Pewter Plank

● By Mike Luciano
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have enough of a solid foundation to consistently compete for division titles in what is a wide open NFC South, but they also have some gigantic holes that will make it next to impossible for this team to emerge as a viable championship contender in the near future. The secondary remains a mess despite all of the wounded missing time, the pass rush on the outside remains nonexistent, and the wide receiver room is starting to show a general lack of overall spice when the X-factor known as Chris Godwin is taken out of the equation. The Buccaneers have talent, but Jason Licht needs to nail it in the draft if he wants to help take this team from good to great. Why not check these three boxes, improve at key positions, and challenge the Falcons for the role of top dog in the NFC South?
