The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a solid 2020 draft, addressing needs along the offensive line and in the secondary.
With a slew of quality talent coming to Tampa Bay now, this rookie class has a chance to add even more versatility to a Bucs team with championship expectations.
But while the team added a tackle, wide receiver and two running backs in the draft, they chose not to draft a developmental quarterback, like Jacob Eason or Jake Fromm, to sit and learn behind Tom Brady. Turns out, there’s a reason Bruce Arians did that.
The Bucs didn't draft a developmental quarterback but Bruce Arians just said they plan to sign one as an undrafted free agent who they think has a lot of upside.

Not sure if Arians has a specific player in mind, but there are some options out there. Truthfully, I think it was the smart move by the Bucs. The team is in win-now mode, so every draft pick they use needs to go towards improving this team immediately, not two years down the road. Plus, Tampa Bay already has Blaine Gabbert backing up Brady, so any rookie QB would likely be third on the depth chart all season.
In the end, the Bucs made some solid picks that will likely pay immediate dividends. And that’s what matters most.
