2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions: Roster Changes
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made some significant roster changes this offseason, particularly on the defensive line. Tampa Bay brought over Jason Pierre-Paul from the New York Giants to give Gerald McCoy help.

Getting McCoy should help bulk up a defensive line that needed to be addressed in the offseason.
The team also seeked help on the offensive line. The Buccaneers picked up Center Ryan Jensen from the Ravens. This move should help give the big boys more depth up front.
With the team picking up Jensen, former center, Ali Marpet will have to adjust to playing left guard. The could take some adjusting for Marpet, but the move is whats best for Tampa.
Doug Martin was a key piece in the Tampa Bay offense a few seasons ago, but his decline at running back forced the Buccaneers to part ways with him.
2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions: Offense
Jameis Winston, is still the leader of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, but his days as the head man could be numbered. Yes Winston is durable and shows glimpses of greatness, but glimpses aren’t good enough.
Winston has against put his team in jeopardy. This time getting suspended three games to start the 2018 season; for an incident involving an uber driver.

No legal action was made against Winston, but these are not the types of examples the Buccaneers need moving forward. Also, this is not Winston’s first time getting a pat on the back and skating away from trouble.
He is a repeat offender when it comes to this type of thing. He even got Mike Evans suspended last season, for an on field incident that did not involve him.
2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions: Defense
Defensively, the Tampa Bay defense was terrible in 2017. Now, other divisional opponents might not want to take them lightly. Gerald McCoy finally has help. Jason Pierre-Paul, Beau Allen and Vinny Curry will be instant impacts this year.
With a new and improved pass rush, the Buccaneers will be slept on early by opposing teams in the first few weeks of the season.
2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Handicapping: (Strengths/Weaknesses)
The Buccaneers offense has weapons. DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans can make for a solid one two punch on the outside. The emergence of tight end OJ Howard also gives Winston another weapon to give the ball to.
Rookie running back, Ronald Jones II will give the team speed, quickness and youth at the position replacing Martin this year.

Defensively, the Buccaneers will need help in the secondary. Rookies Carlton Davis and M.J. Stewart give the defensive backs size, but are not proven in the NFL.
2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction (Final Record): 7-9
The Buccaneers have a lot to prove this year. There are a ton of question marks that remain unanswered.
The Buccaneers have the talent to be a wild card playoff team this season, but will need Jameis Winston to become the pro quarterback so many labeled him to be. If he is unable to perform with the talent surrounding him, this will be another long year in Tampa.
