Defensively, Tampa is near elite. They have some excellent perimeter weapons on offense and an excellent head coach and defensive coordinator.
Their offensive line is their Achilles heel, although they have an opportunity to upgrade because they're picking early enough in Round 1. If they can come to terms with Shaq Barrett before July 15th, they'll have an opportunity to trade for some offensive lineman as well, maybe even Thuney.
They're close.

The Bucs were an average defense the second half of the year. Barrett was a complete fluke, he won't get double digit sacks this upcoming season. The young DB's will ALL take a big step back from the end of the season. This Buccaneers team it anywhere close to being ready for a playoff run. Bad offense with an old rag armed QB, no running game, offensive line is shit, they have 2 legit weapons everyone else on the offense is crap and outside of Vita Vea they have nothing on the front 7. Devin White is fast, but is still too dumb to not blow every gap assignment in front of him, JPP is old and will come to halt here in 2020 and none of their DB's are good enough to make up for the linebackers sucking (except Lavonte David, he is a decent player). In other words the Buccaneers are as far off from the Superbowl as an 8-8/7-9 team can be.
