The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense last season left a lot to be desired in the second half of the year.
Yes, injuries played a role in that, but Baker Mayfield was struggling to find a consistent outlet, and we know that a tight end is a quarterback's best friend.
Cade Otton (572 yards) was the Buccaneers' second-best weapon behind rookie Emeka Egbuka last season, but that is the only tight end on the roster who amounted to anything substantial.
Now, armed with a decent first-round pick (No. 15), the Buccaneers can go in a variety of directions, and given the defensive needs, it feels like the Bucs will get Todd Bowles another weapon.
However, ESPN's Jordan Reid isn't counting out a stud weapon for Mayfield either.
"Defensive end and tight end are two positions that the Bucs have keyed in on as Round 1 options, with tight end Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon) being a real possibility at No. 15," Reid wrote.

Sadiq a Buc?
The Buccaneers would need to have their defensive picks wiped out before their selection for this to be a real possibility, in my opinion.
But Sadiq, as a vertical option in the passing game, could give Baker another genuine game-winner.
Seen as more of a receiver than a tight end, Sadiq is a physical monster, running a 4.39 40-yard dash. He will be a matchup nightmare for defenses. Given the other weapons at Mayfield's disposal, having a tight end who can act as a home run threat will give Tampa Bay a good Mike Evans replacement (sort of).
Yes, there are big defensive needs, but if Sadiq is sitting there at No. 15, I wonder if Tampa will be able to resist.
