The Bucs absolutely crushed the 2020 NFL draft

The Bucs landed two franchise cornerstones at the top of the 2020 NFL draft

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t just land the GOAT in the 2020 offseason; they also found a franchise cornerstone on either side of the ball, both of whom would come to define a new era for the franchise.

In the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, the Bucs moved up one spot to grab Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs. With their second-round pick, they selected safety Antoine Winfield Jr. out of Minnesota.

Both were immediately thrust into the starting lineup, making an instant impact for a team that fought their way to a Lombardi Trophy alongside Brady and a star-studded roster.

A few years later, both Wirfs and Winfield have established themselves as the best in the league at their respective positions, both earning first-team All-Pro honors.

They’re also tied for the fourth-highest career grade of any players from the 2020 draft class, according to Pro Football Focus:

Both players are expected to receive long-term contract extensions at some point this year that will make them the highest-paid players at their respective positions, and with good reason.
