3. OT Josh Jones (Houston)

Maybe Tampa Bay isn’t sold on the top four offensive tackles being much better than Houston’s Josh Jones.

After all, Jones had an impressive Senior Bowl performance and is the clear No. 5 option in the class. Some may even consider him ahead of a guy like Tristan Wirfs or Andrew Thomas in terms of upside.

The Buccaneers could trade back into the mid-to-late 20s and, perhaps, come away with second-round pick as a result.

The organization would then be able to select Jones- a promising offensive tackle- in the first-round and then still maintain two second-round picks to address other needs.
