The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted a top-tier offensive tackle early in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL draft, but it wasn't an easy path to land Tristan Wirfs 13th overall.
The Buccaneers entered the draft with the 14th overall pick but wanted one of Wirfs, Jedrick Wills, Andrew Thomas or Mekhi Becton, according to Peter Kingof NBC Sports.
General manager Jason Licht reportedly made about 30 calls during the week discussing possible trades and began making offers on draft day at No. 9 with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
