The Bucs Official Website breaks down the last ten years of Teams 1st Round Draft choices with the 20th Overall Pick. Here are the Draftees:

Year	Team	Player	2007 Statistics
2007	New York Giants	CB Aaron Ross	42 Tackles, 1.5 Sacks, 3 Interceptions
2006	Kansas City Chiefs	DE Tamba Hali	58 Tackles, 7.5 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles
2005	Dallas Cowboys	DE Marcus Spears	30 Tackles, 2.0 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles
2004	Minnesota Vikings	DE Kenechi Udeze	47 Tackles 5.0 Sacks 1 Forced Fumble
2003	Denver Broncos	T George Foster	Started 9 Games, played in 15
2002	Green Bay Packers	WR Javon Walker	26 Receptions, 287 Yards, 0 Touchdowns
2001	St. Louis Rams	S Adam Archuleta	61 Tackles, 2.0 Sacks, 1 Interception
2000	Detroit Lions	T Stockar McDougle	DID NOT PLAY IN 2007
1999	Dallas Cowboys	DE Ebenezer Ekuban	DID NOT PLAY IN 2007
1998	Detroit Lions	CB Terry Fair	OUT OF LEAGUE

By the looks of those players up there, its no wonder the Bucs are willing to trade that 1st Round Draft Pick to the Chiefs for DE Jared Allen. It's hard to gauge our 20th Selection against those of the past when there was the Chiefs, Vikings, Lions, and Rams making those selections. None of those teams are known for their drafting prowess. The majority of those picks are defensive selections as well. Aaron Ross, Tamba Hali, and Kenechi Udeze seem to be pretty good NFL Players. I think these selections further hammer home the point that the NFL Draft is a royal crapshoot...
