The Buccaneers will be consistently facing a new quarterback the Falcons selected in the first round.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a big opportunity during the 2024 NFL Draft. They've got the opportunity to build around a team that made the playoffs during the 2023 season behind key play from Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. On both sides of the ball, there is depth they can add to ensure they'll find their way back into the postseason.
The decision to draft a quarterback early in the first round makes sense. Well, for most teams. The Falcons, however, inked quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal. They've got so-called"security" under center. To draft a backup with pick No. 8 rather than equipping Cousins with more talent — as he already as Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson in his offense — or bring in a defensive stud to help the team be as competitive is a decision that can't be spun into a good one in any which way.
