O-line upgrades can help Bears’ address QB quandary

The Buccaneers’ signing of quarterback Tom Brady in the offseason — and tight end Rob Gronkowski for that matter — deservedly drew the most attention in Tampa last year.

But those high-profile acquisitions overshadowed another key move by Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht — taking Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 draft.

It was a stroke of good fortune for Licht. Wirfs was projected to go in the top 10 as the best tackle prospect in the draft. He slid to 13 and it paid off big for the Buccaneers.
