Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win
Summary: Jacksonville moved up 6 spots in Round 2 (58th to 52nd) to select Quentin Groves, giving Tampa Bay an extra 5th and 7th. Analysis: Groves was selected as an edge rusher project and produced minimally in three Jacksonville seasons. The Buccaneers received Dexter Jackson (58th) — a useful defensive back — plus two extra picks. Jacksonville overpaid for a player who underdelivered. D grade is appropriate.
