With yet another losing season in the tank, the Buccaneers are again poised to be big players in free agency.
If the Bucs' disappointing 2014 season proved anything, it showed that "winning" free agency is no guarantee of building a successful roster, much less winning games. Nevertheless, the Bucs have holes to fill on the roster and money to spend.
Following their loss to the Saints on Sunday, the Bucs secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, per the Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman. While that gives the Bucs an opportunity to find a franchise quarterback in the likes of Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay isn't exactly one player away from the Super Bowl.
The Bucs' roster needs to begin once again with the offensive line. General manager Jason Licht's failure to adequately address the line this past spring directly contributed to the Bucs' woeful offense this fall.
Depth could be improved across the board. The defense needs a stronger pass-rush rotation and more defensive backs.
A free-agent playmaker or two on either side of the ball wouldn't hurt though. Though the 2015 free-agent class doesn't boast an abundance of talent, the Bucs could find viable offensive linemen and defensive backs on the market.
Here is an early breakdown of the Buccaneers' 2015 free agent outlook.
