The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suddenly have an opening at quarterback, following Tom Brady's retirement this week. Those are some big shoes to fill, and there's no easy solution for a team coming off a 13-win season and an NFC South title. Their options include making a splashy trade or signing a free agent. But what about Kyle Trask, the team's 2021 second-round pick?
With an eye to their post-Brady future, the Buccaneers used the No. 64 selection on Trask last April, but he didn't dress for a single game during his rookie season in Tampa Bay. The Florida product was my No. 65 prospect and seventh-ranked quarterback in last year's draft class. I gave him a 78 grade, which put him in the same tier as Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills.
It's unclear what Tampa Bay will actually do at QB next season and beyond, but it's worth taking a long look at Trask. What are his strengths and weaknesses? Does he fit the Buccaneers' offense? And of course, can he be a reliable NFL starter? Let's revisit Trask's scouting report and break down what he could bring in Tampa Bay.
