The Bucs had an eye on their guy and moved up to get him.
They made a trade with the 49ers, swapping a fourth round pick to move up from 14th to 13th to snap up offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs out of Iowa.
A good score for the Bucs, as it was not expected that Wirfs would still be around at that spot.
