One of the biggest takeaways from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals was the strong performances of their 2021 draft picks. If this is any indication, it looks like the Buccaneers may have hit big on yet another draft class.

It was never going to be perfect. Preseason never is and that point is always exacerbated during the preseason opener. Veterans are still getting their sea legs back under them, and roster bubble players are doing everything they can to make a statement in hopes of keeping their NFL dreams alive.
