The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to make improvements to their offensive and defensive lines this offseason, and could even make impactful changes in the secondary due to potential losses and lack of depth.

Comfortability with their draft board will impact how the Bucs attack free agency and re-sign their players while negotiating around one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL today.

With the NFL Scouting Combine taking place this week, the final stages of draft preparation are beginning, and the offseason strategy is nearly set.
