After the departure of Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers in free agency, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now lack an X receiver for their offense.
There remains a strong wide receiver core made up of Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., Jalen McMillan and Tez Johnson, but none of them fit the prototype of a true X receiver for the Buccaneers offense.
It remains unseen whether or not Tampa Bay will spend a draft pick on a wide receiver this year given their strong existing depth as they have only seven draft picks and much more pressing needs on the defensive side of the ball, but if they do opt to draft an Evans replacement, the perfect target couldn’t be more clear.
