Chuk looked good with his few starts honestly.
I'm good with this offense. I do think they need to look in to getting a true X receiver who will benefit in the RZ.
McMillan should be good to go, he looked pretty good when he came back. Godwin started to look like his old self the last few games as well so I expect him to have a good year.
I like the RB room. Just need to add some better depth in the IOL but that's easier said than done
Yeah depth along interior OL seems a priority because Klein didn't show enough along with Haggard. Sure the team like Scott but if Scott can't beat out Bredeson what does that say about him or Klein and Haggard? Bredeson isn't even average if we are to be honest and when he was injured Mayfield was facing a lot of pressure up the A gap.
The WR and RB group is a strength along with the starting OL. TE group is solid but definitely needs a 4th guy to add to the mix, and QB feels like they have a trio that can compete. Question marks on offense if we really do a deep dive are the following:
How does the team feel about not having a big bodied WR on the roster? Sure the team like T. Johnson, K. Johnson, G. Greene, and D. Houston but none of them have size to compliment the top three. Jaden Smith has the size the Bucs FO likes but it feels like an obvious place where the Bucs invest in a draft pick to add size to the WR room. Greene and Houston are average WR size but they are not winning jump balls and T. Johnson and K. Johnson are really all about agility in space as return specialist.
Next, the depth of the interior OL is a big mystery. How does the team really feel about Klein and Haggard? Does the team like Scott that much? Your intuitions are correct that the Bucs are highly likely going to draft an interior OL in round 3 or 4 based on Licht's history. And because of Bredeson being on the last year of his deal and the uncertainty surrounding Mauch's future.
Did a mock where we traded back with DEN, picking up a 2nd and a 3rd.
Picked Pregnon at #30 (could've taken Faulk, but passed), which gives us a Day 1 starter and upgrade at IOL.
Took Rodriguez at #46, who should be a Day 1 starter at ILB
Took Brazzell at #62, who should be our future X.
Love this
Kieft and Feeney are back!!!
QB: Mayfield, Browning, Bazelak
RB: Irving Jr. Gainwell, Tucker, Williams
WR: Godwin, McMillan, Egbuka, T. Johnson, K. Johnson, Greene
OT: Wirfs, Goedeke, Chukwuma
iOL: Bredeson, Graham, Mauch, Klein, Haggard, Scott
TE: Otton, Durham, Culp
I assume by Graham you mean Barton?
Yeah and Kieft and Feeney are back so it looks like a vet WR is on the table now.

I wish Brazzell would fall that far. After his 4.37 I’d be surprised if he fell out of the first. Patriots could sure use him. A number of teams could.
