10. OT Josh Jones, Houston

One option that many Tampa Bay fans haven’t thought about is the prospect of trading back and gaining another pick or two in later rounds.

If the Buccaneers were to trade back and were still looking for an offensive lineman, Josh Jones would be the perfect fit.

Jones is projected to be the No. 5 OT taken and will likely not be selected until the mid-20s.

The Buccaneers could orchestrate a trade back and gain another pick as a result. Jones has the potential to blossom into a starter at the offensive tackle position and it wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world to add another draft pick or two to address other issues.
