Buccaneers give up fourth-round pick and Tim Wright for Logan Mankins

The terms of the trade between the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are out.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded Tim Wright and a fourth-round pick to the New England Patriots for former All-Pro guard Logan Mankins, per Adam Schefter. The trade had been announced already, but the exact terms weren't known until now.

That fourth-round pick is quite high given the fact that the Bucs are giving up a very talented, young player in Tim Wright for a 32-year-old guard coming off arguably the worst year in his career. Mankins was still an above-average lineman last year, but he's no longer the All-Pro he used to be and at his age, he won't be a long-term solution, either.

But the Bucs are desperate for help at offensive guard. So desperate that they actually had Richie Incognito in for a visit yesterday. Mankins solves part of the problem by filling in at left guard, and the Bucs think they have the players at other positions to win, and win a lot this year.

So what do you think? Was this too much, or just right?
