Seattle failed in 2014 against New England, no less; remember Malcolm Butler s goal-line interception? and the Patriots in 2017, the Super Bowl featuring the Philly Special.(AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio, File)

So after Tampa traded up to select Iowa tackle Tristan Wirfs with the 13th overall choice, Licht had a big hug with his wife and their three children instead of high-fiving members of the organization celebrating the addition of what they believed would be a cornerstone of their future.
