Wirfs was the Bucs’ big prize of the 2020 draft as the team desperately needed to land one of the class’ top tackles to help protect Brady. The Bucs’ O-line allowed 47 sacks last season on Jameis Winston, and with Brady set to turn 43 in a few weeks, the team can’t afford to let him take a beating like that. Mel Kiper Jr. had Wirfs ranked as the draft’s second-best tackle, and while Wirfs is a monster athlete already, the NFL game is much quicker than college. Asking a tackle to jump right in and protect the greatest quarterback of all time is pressure enough. But when you are a rookie, too? Good luck.
