Tampa bay X 2023.

 So far-

The bucs have had a lot of changes so far this offseason , the most notable being Tom Brady’s retirement after a playoff loss to Dallas. The Bucs also fired a host of coaches with OC byron leftwich in the middle of it. To follow this up they hired former Seahawks QB coach Dave canales to take charge of the offence. Perhaps fresher on the memory , Tampa have released LT Donovan Smith and are going to be cutting RB Leonard Fournette and TE Cam Brate. 

The 23’ season-

Well it is not the best looking season on paper for Tampa as they have a whole lot of key players heading for free agency with the most notable two being longtime linebacker lavonte David (who has mutual interest in a return) and standout CB Jamel Dean, per source the bucs will not franchise tag either of these players. The bucs are not going into a “full rebuild” rather , they believe they can still compete for the NFC south title and snag a playoff berth, with Kyle trask. The Bucs GM Jason Licht stated he was confident with trask and believes he is capable of winning the bucs starting job. The bucs are heading into the 23’ season as a different team to the last three seasons and with that I do believe they will definitely struggle . 

My top 3 draft picks 

The bucs could draft a host of players at pick 19 but here’s my top 3

- CB Kelee Ringo , ringo is one of the youngest DBs to step foot into the nfl draft and definitely has a high ceiling despite still being a lot younger than the other guys plus with smb and Jamel dean likely leaving , I think it would be a good fit 

- RB Bijan Robinson , before you go bonkers let me explain , last season the bucs struggled on the ground , badly , now that can be pinned on coaching , oline or other backs but there’s no doubt Rachaad white was part of it , I think bijan would give him healthy competition for the rb1 spot , also bijan is not only a better back than white but he is also stronger 

- EDGE BJ Ojulari - the bucs struggled getting to the qb last season no doubt and I think the addition of ojulari would not only help sack numbers but also help keep the rushing total down for Tampa in 23’
