Wide receiver was an off-season priority for the Buccaneers, and with good reason. Behind Mike Evans, the cupboard was a bit bare. Evans was taking all of the targets, and the majority of the physical pounding. If Cameron Brate hadn’t emerged, one might have wondered who would ever get the football besides Evans. The Bucs needed to get better.
They added DeSean Jackson, arguably the biggest move of free agency across the league. Jason Licht didn’t stop there, adding O.J. Howard in the first, and Chris Godwin in the third round of the draft.
