Bucs Targeting Mitchell Schwartz




Even though the Bucs offensive line was much improved last year, it looks like the Bucs have their mindset on making the line even stronger. Last year the unit did a good job in protecting Jameis as they were 4th in fewest sacks allowed with 27. However, Jameis was still getting hit a lot as the line struggled with consistency. With free agency starting today, it looks like the Bucs want to add one of the premier free agent offensive lineman in Browns right tackle Mitchell Schwartz.  According to cleveland.com and per Mary Kay Cabot, the Bucs are showing interest in the big right tackle.
Schwartz, 26 has been a everyday starter for the Browns since he entered the league in 2012. Schwartz has gotten better every year and was one of the better right tackles in the league this past year. At 6'5 320, he has the power in the run game, but enough athleticism to contend with the edge rushers as well. Schwartz has a connection with the Bucs in offensive line coach George Warhop who coached Schwartz in his first two seasons with the Browns. Adding Schwartz would be a solid upgrade at right tackle and would create a strength on the right side of the line in Ali Marpet and Schwartz.
