Bucs' Offensive Line Disrespected in Rankings
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to surprise a lot of people this past season when they made the playoffs and were able to make it past the first round.
And we can make the argument here, that ... If the team can work on the weaker parts of the roster, they could do even better.
But for now?
In a recent article by PFF, they rank every NFL team's offensive line based on how well they think they will do this season. At No. 17 out of 32, they have the Buccaneers, as there are still some questions.

"Moving Tristan Wirfs from right tackle to left tackle paid off for the Buccaneers, with him finishing as the fifth-highest-graded offensive tackle in the league," Zoltán Buday writes. "Luke Goedeke also impressed at his new position on the right side, ranking 27th in PFF overall grade among all tackles. There are quite a few question marks along Tampa Bay's interior offensive line."
Thankfully, the Buccaneers decided to address their offensive line with their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft when they took Graham Barton.
The team has been searching for an answer at the center position ever since Ryan Jensen left the team and eventually retired, but Barton could be the answer. With that being said, he is still a question mark at the spot, as he is still relatively new to the position.
Barton and the rest of the Buccaneers' offensive line will be looking to help the team repeat their success from this past season, and hopefully do more in the postseason.
