Bucs Still Need Help for Baker Mayfield in 1 Area
Can the Buccaneers do the right thing for Mayfield?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers addressed defensive needs but may still struggle on offense due to limited tight end production. Last season, their tight ends combined for only 61 receptions, 589 yards, and two touchdowns, the worst production in the NFL. Cade Otton accounted for the majority of these stats, highlighting the depth issues at the position.
While Otton remains a crucial part of the offense, the Buccaneers need more reliable options for Baker Mayfield. Their only substantial addition at tight end was a Day 3 draft pick, LSU's Bauer Sharp. Relying on an inexperienced player to instantly improve the position is a risky move. To strengthen Mayfield's passing game, the Bucs need additional dependable catches, red-zone production, and a stretch threat to trouble defenses. Although not the biggest issue, this area is often overlooked.
