With a fourth-quarter collapse on Sunday, the Buccaneers earned the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NFL draft, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Bucs lost to the Saints, 23-20, despite carrying a 13-point lead into the fourth quarter. The collapse happened with the Bucs (2-14) playing a lot of backups, and it led to questions about whether the team "tanked" to get the No. 1 pick. Coach Lovie Smith strongly denied that.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are guaranteed one of the top-two picks in the 2015 NFL Draft and guarantee the top selection with a loss in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.

The Buccaneers almost certainly will end up with either Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston.

Tampa Bay signed Josh McCown in the offseason at quarterback, while they also have Mike Glennon.

Jeff Tedford has been away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on medical leave this season and will not be part of the team moving forward.

The Buccaneers will find a new offensive coordinator for the 2015 season.

Tedford was previously head coach at California.
