Top picks
-- 1997 (No. 66 overall)
With their fourth selection in 1997, Tampa Bay struck gold. Barber is a five-time Pro-Bowler, and three-time All-Pro. He has started every game for the Buccaneers the past 13 seasons. His 47 career interceptions ranks fifth among active players.

-- 1995 (No. 28 overall)
The second part of undoubtedly the best draft class in Buccaneers history, the former Florida State linebacker started 221 of 224 games from 1995-2008. He has 25 career interceptions, and returned three of those picks for touchdowns during the Bucs' 2002 season. Brooks was the 2002 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and an 11-time Pro-Bowler.

-- 1995 (No. 12 overall)
The anchor of Tampa Bay's defense for nine seasons, Sapp was the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, in which he totaled 16.5 sacks. Sapp -- a seven-time er -- anchored the defense that brought Tampa Bay its first in 2002, a 48-21 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

-- 1993 (No. 82 overall)
A stalwart of the "Tampa 2" defense for 11 seasons, Lynch was a two-time All-Pro and nine-time Pro-Bowler. Throughout his career, he was known as being one of the hardest hitters in the NFL. While many think he'll eventually be enshrined in Canton, he's already in Cooperstown. Lynch, once a top pitching prospect, threw out the first pitch in the history of the Florida Marlins baseball team, and for that his jersey is now in baseball's hall of fame.
»
-- 1988 (No. 4 overall)
The giant left tackle from Wisconsin played in 183 games for Tampa Bay from 1988 through 1999, and started all 183. Gruber was the consummate professional during a nine-year run of futility from 1988-1996, in which the Bucs never won more than seven games in a season. He was inducted to the Bucs Ring of Honor in 2012.

Worst picks
-- 1986 (No. 1 overall)
Bo Knows. Tampa Bay should have known better. Rumors swirled that the former Auburn standout and Heisman Trophy winner didn't want to play for Tampa Bay and would choose baseball. The Bucs already had a 1,300 yard rusher -- James Wilder -- in their backfield, so running back wasn't a serious need. But on draft day, Jackson's number was called by the Buccaneers and they made him choose: diamond or gridiron. Bo chose baseball, sat out the NFL season and was drafted by Oakland in the seventh round in the 1987 . To this day, Brian Bosworth wishes Jackson would have signed with the Bucs.

-- 1993 (No. 6 overall)
The sixth pick in the draft, the former All-American from Alabama never materialized into the pass rusher Tampa Bay envisioned. During five lackluster years, he totaled 12 sacks and 74 tackles. He left as a free agent after the 1997 season.
»
-- 1996 (No. 12 overall)
Cal All-American Regan Upshaw was a forgettable pick in what seemed to be years of draft futility for the Buccaneers. In three seasons, he totaled 92 tackles and 18.5 sacks. What's worse for Bucs fans, they took North Carolina defensive tackle Marcus Jones later in the first round that year, passing up on ers Eddie George, Marvin Harrison and Ray Lewis.
»
-- 1997 (No. 16 overall)
Searching for the game-breaking wideout Tampa never had, the Bucs traveled up I-75 to Gainesville for Gators All-American Reidel Anthony. While he showed flashes of potential, including finishing eighth in all-purpose yards in 1998, Anthony totaled only 144 catches for 1,846 yards in five seasons. It could have been worse for the Bucs, though. The next wide receiver off the board in the 1997 draft was Rae Carruth.

-- 1987 (No. 1 overall)
Testaverde, the first overall pick from the Miami Hurricanes, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1987 as the . However, in his six seasons it seemed he threw eight million interceptions. Actually, it was just 112, although he led the league with 35 and 22 pick in two of his first three seasons. Testaverde was teased for being and insulted by other players, including Gene Upshaw, who questioned his intelligence. Testaverde's career did blossom after he left Tampa in 1992. He became a two-time selection with the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets.
