It's been a roller coaster of an offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it's not over yet. With Tom Brady back under center, this team has a fighting chance at winning another Super Bowl. There are a few holes on the roster for now, which means it's time to evaluate the three best fits for the Buccaneers' 27th pick overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Defensively, the Buccaneers are likely fine. They could use some help in the secondary, but it's not like it's a dire need. For the first round, Tampa Bay should focus on the offensive side of the ball to build the best team possible around Tom Brady.

We could see Tampa Bay select either an offensive lineman, tight end, or running back. It'll be interesting to see how the draft plays out, but the Buccaneers have an opportunity to strengthen the offense to new heights. If the front office makes the right decision, we could see this team make another deep run in the playoffs.

With that said, here are the three best options the Buccaneers have with the 27th overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.

3. Bernhard Raimann

With Alex Cappa remaining retired, the Buccaneers still need to find his replacement. Bernhard Raimann played as a tackle in college, but he's a big-bodied run blocker who could provide consistency for the offensive line. Tom Brady is not a mobile quarterback, so ensuring his safety is priority number one for this franchise.

Raimann could adapt and play within the interior offensive line, but that's not his natural position. He does fill a need for this team though, as the Buccaneers are an offensive lineman away from being elite once again. Either way, if the Buccaneers select Bernhard Raimann, Leonard Fournette is bound to be smiling from ear to ear.

2. Trey McBride

Rob Gronkowski has yet to announce a return yet as he could decide to retire from the NFL. For that reason, the front office must consider finding his replacement sooner, rather than later. With OJ Howard no longer on the Buccaneers' roster either, Trey McBride could certainly be in place for Tampa Bay in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Trey McBride is easily the best tight end available in the draft this offseason. He's a great blocker and is dangerous in the passing game. Even if Rob Gronkowski comes back, McBride would still be a great selection for the Buccaneers, as they'd be set at tight end for the future.

1. Breece Hall

Although Leonard Fournette is returning to the lineup, the Buccaneers should consider taking Breece Hall if he is available. Tampa Bay likes using a dual-running back system and Hall would be a great compliment to Fournette's brutalizing rushing style.

Hall has the ability to be an all-down back. He can serve as a strong second-option out of the backfield until he's ready for the starting role. With Ronald Jones Jr. now playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buccaneers should aim to replace him with a stud rookie running back in Breece Hall.
