Sustained success means different things to different franchises, but as the Bucs prepare to pick 26th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, they continue a Day 1 waiting game the team has never before known in its history. Barring a major trade, the Bucs will go four years without a top-15 pick, a first in the franchise's 49 years of drafting. To even go three years without one is something Tampa Bay hasn't done since 1984. Picking later in the draft means it's harder to anticipate picks, and also harder to hit on them and land an elite player. But as Bucs general manager Jason Licht says, it's a good problem to have.
