Bucs make big leap in PFF power rankings following free agency
PFF published their latest power rankings following the offseason, which saw coaching changes, trades, and free agency. For the Bucs, they saw changes across the board at several spots from the front office down to the roster.
PFF has them coming in at number 10, despite all those changes.
Mason Cameron writes, "Losing offensive coordinator Liam Coen is a blow to a Bucs offense that ranked fifth in EPA per play last season, but retaining Chris Godwin ensures this unit will have the pieces to remain competitive in 2025. Baker Mayfield’s resurgence, combined with the reliable duo of Chris Godwin and Mike Evans and the addition of Bucky Irving in the backfield, keeps this offense in a strong position."
While the offense is set to be strong once again, Cameron points out the defense is more than serviceable.
He praised the Bucs' signing of Haason Reddick for its high upside despite the financial risk it presented. They also bring back several depth pieces on that side of the ball, but the NFL Draft is set to meet the remaining needs for the defense.
