Do we have a shot at Burfict now?

The Sam spot is the biggest area of need, IMO.  Black is by far the worst LB and the worst of any position on the team.

The SAM spot on the Bucs has been a 2 down or less position for years and is also the least important position on the defense as far a having a quality player in that position.

That said.....overall....until the Bucs figure out how to get the front 7 to play well consistently...even dominate....the defense is going to struggle. They can't put any more resources from the draft into the DL. So a high end pick at LBer is almost a must.

You don't need to spend big on a 3rd LB since for the amount of time you spend in a nickle the 3rd linebacker is at best a part time player. Thing is you have to get some production out of your 2 good LB's.

Hell,  unless they go on a major win streak to finish out the season, the Bucs can have just about anyone they want not named Luck or Barkley or that Baylor QB.
