Trade on Draft Day? Bucs Have Been Active

When Jason Licht took over as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' new general manager in January of 2014, he inherited a relatively decent haul of picks in the upcoming NFL draft. Tampa Bay was scheduled to pick seventh in the first round, and also had high picks in the second (#38) and third (#69) stanzas. The team's fourth and sixth-round selections were already gone, however as a result of trades made by previous team management for Darrelle Revis and Gabe Carimi. Licht would later fill that sixth-round void by trading wide receiver Mike Williams to Buffalo. In addition, the release of Revis prior to the third day of the new league year kept the fourth-round pick that was sent to the Jets from turning into a third-round pick.
