There is no learning curve attached to Fitzpatrick, which is a good sign for the team. Jameis Winston will serve his suspension for incidents that occurred last season. The team will start the season with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. All of their rostered players can catch, but their pass-blocking capabilities are limited. Jones continues to trend the team’s rushing stance towards change of pace roles. Ronald Jones was selected high in the 2nd round, representing one of the best running back talents on draft boards. Barber got run last season and is working his way into the system. Peyton Barber looks to be the most promising option the team has on the roster. Doug Martin made his exit to Oakland this off-season, voiding that position to the next man up. Last year, the team rotated many different talents through the backfield. The biggest question mark heading into this season for the team is the running back position.

Chris Conte comes over from Chicago to serve as the leading safety. The secondary is also much improved compared to last season. The talent level upfront is mirrors the historical rosters that took aim at Super Bowls and division titles in the early 2000s. He will be slotted into a defensive line position, which might call for a learning curve given he was mainly a nose tackle last season. Allen is a bigger body and usually favors the middle regions. He can come out of a stance in a hurry, leaving him as dual-threat talent. Curry is agile and creates a serviceable role player at both defensive end and linebacker. This line also saw the addition of two Super Bowl champions in Vinny Curry and Beau Allen. Both headline gaudy statistic numbers in terms of pass-rush capabilities and pressuring the quarterback. He will create a formidable attack when partnered alongside Gerald McCoy on the outside edges.
Paul has seen a small decrease in his production over the past few seasons, but these fall-off points are minimal compared to his body of work.
