The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a lot of success in the first round of the NFL Draft, especially as of late. Players such as Mike Evans, Vita Vea, Devin White, and Tristan Wirfs were all integral parts of their Super Bowl 55 victory. Additionally, their 1995 first-round NFL Draft picks, Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp, are not only in the Pro Football Hall of Fame but were key cogs in the team’s first Super Bowl win.
