Joel Glazer, co-chairman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has approved drafting Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota with the No. 1 overall selection.

Glazer is confident Lovie Smith and Jason Licht will make the right selection come April 30 in Chicago.

"With anybody we're looking to draft, we do an extensive amount of work on their background, history and all that," Glazer told the newspaper. "We spent time with Jameis and Marcus and went into everything into their background. After everything we've done and where we're at right now, we're comfortable where Jameis is at, we're comfortable with Marcus or whoever else it could be."

Winston is widely expected to be the Buccaneers' selection.
