2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2019 record: 7-9 (third place)
Additions: QB Tom Brady, OT Joe Haeg, TE Rob Gronkowski (trade)
Losses: QB Jameis Winston, DL Beau Allen, WR Breshad Perriman, OLB Carl Nassib, G Mike Liedtke, RB Peyton Barber
Draft picks: No. 13: Iowa OT Tristan Wirfs, No. 45: Minnesota S Antoine Winfield Jr., No. 76: Vanderbilt RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn, No. 161: Minnesota WR Tyler Johnson, No. 194: Nebraska DT Khalil Davis, No. 241: Temple LB Chapelle Russell, No. 245: Louisiana-Lafayette RB Raymond Calais
2020 outlook: While there’s still ground to gain on New Orleans, Tampa is by far the most improved team in the NFC South this year. Brady may not be what he was in 2007, but he’s a big upgrade over Winston and won’t cause nearly as many turnovers. Adding Gronk to the mix gives them the deepest group of tight ends in the league to go with a brutal one-two punch at wide receiver. The Bucs also kept their defensive line strong by retaining Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul and Ndamukong Suh. Assuming Wirfs and Winfield both work out, this team will be much more competitive than in recent years. Our projection for Tampa in 2020 is a 10-6 regular season and a wild card spot.
