The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be an interesting watch this season, particularly on offense, as for the first time in over a decade, the franchise won't have Mike Evans on the roster.
Granted, Baker Mayfield and Co. have had good practice without Evans, with injuries over the last two seasons seeing others have to step up. With Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, and Jalen McMillan, the cupboard for Mayfield isn't exactly bare with Evans moving on.
But still, for Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine, when naming a surprising draft need for every team, he chose receiver for Tampa Bay. "When we're talking about draft needs for the Bucs, it's usually the defense that gets the attention,” Ballentine wrote . “However, the Buccaneers offense is also hitting a tipping point.
Baker Mayfield has just one year left on his contract and they'll be dealing with losing Mike Evans. Chris Godwin is still on the roster, but his injury history and age (30) make it hard to count on him. “There are more pressing issues, but the Bucs could still wind up opting to load up their receiver room with another young, affordable option to build around.
