The Tampa Bay Buccaneers desperately need to find a hit with one of their draft picks for the interior of their offensive line.

Robert Hainsey and Luke Goedeke were both drafted high by the Bucs and put in positions to succeed, yet neither has popped in a way that a player of their draft status should.

The offensive line is suffering for the Bucs and will still have new starters in 2023. Someone needs to step up to help Ryan Jensen and Tristan Wirfs as the only two locks at starting roles.

One player that should get increased attention from Tampa is Hainsey.

With college experience at tackle and with NFL experience mostly at center, Hainsey has a bit of talent in a lot of areas, but the Bucs may just need him to be great at one role in 2023 if they are going to save this line.

Right guard currently looks like the biggest question mark for Tampa after the departure of Shaq Mason, and a small change could help the roster out in a big way.

The team did just sign veteran Matt Feiler as a veteran with experience across the line that should be in contention for the starting role, but don't rule Hainsey out just yet either.

Moving to right guard would be a bit of a transition for the young lineman, but it isn't out of the question according to a recent quote from Jason Licht when asked about Hainsey and a potential transition back to his college position of tackle:

"We’ve just projected him – just the size, the length, the body type – as more of an inside player. Now, he played very well at Notre Dame there and [Assistant Head Coach/Run Game Coordinator] Harold [Goodwin] and [Offensive Line Coach] Joe [Gilbert] aren’t opposed to giving him a shot. We’ll move guys around and see what happens, but his skillset is better off inside.”

Based on this quote, the general support remaining on the team for Luke Goedeke and his future at left guard, and the return of Ryan Jensen, it makes sense that Hainsey could be in the mix to become the new starting right guard (or left guard if Goedeke doesn't take any steps forward) because of the need at IOL and the ability to maximize the trio of Jensen, Hainsey, and Goedeke.

Regardless of the position, it makes sense that Hainsey will move away from center to give the Bucs their biggest return on their initial investment and actual create an opportunity where the young lineman can actually see the field in 2023 and beyond.
