The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is set to begin in less than two weeks, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be actively scouting the talent as they have a number of needs that need to be addressed through both the draft and free agency.
One area of need is along the offensive line, and several mock drafts have the Bucs looking to take an offensive tackle at the 14th spot in April’s NFL draft. And, NFL.com’s Charley Casserly seems to be in that camp, as he’s named Iowa OT Tristan Wirfs as a must-watch player for the Buccaneers at the upcoming combine.
Per Casserly:
“The Bucs have several holes, but the offensive line is the one they must focus on in the draft. Wirfs provides versatility along the line; he could play right tackle or guard at the next level.”
Drafting a solid offensive tackle can have an immediate impact on a team, and with the Bucs looking like a dark-horse playoff contender in 2020, shoring up the O-line will go a long way in helping to ensure their offense remains one of the NFL’s most potent.
Getting someone like Wirfs would be a huge “get” for Tampa Bay. The only question is, who will be the quarterback the Bucs’ O-line will be protecting in 2020?
