I can’t stress this enough, NT/DT is a major fucking need. It’s pathetic...


Yet im seemingly the only one on this board who would consider Vea anything more than a consolation prize at 13.

Because he can't penetrate. Allen and Ioannidis would be your nickel package DTs in pass rush situations.

He would impact the run game for sure but that's not enough if I could get James, Fitzpatrick, Roquan Smith or Edmunds instead.

He cannot penetrate if he gets double teamed. But others will in that case. Tomsula will turn this guy into a three down player in no time. He has a quick first step and the raw tools are all there. Just needs to be coached up. Until that happens ill take third and long all Sunday every Sunday. When it does happen he and Allen will anchor a ferocious front 7. Like I said he is going to be the pick unless someone nabs him first. Guys his size with his athleticism just dont come around often. Let our coaches work on his pass rushing and enjoy the show.

Vehemently disagree that he has a quick first step, that just does not show up on tape. He is often among the last out of his stance. He performed at Washington by straight up tossing dudes aside, which has value. But he has shown nothing in college leading me to believe he has a quick first step.

Could Tomsula coach him up? Sure. But so could Torrian Gray with Minkah or Derwin James.

Everything i read about this guy says he is freaky fast for 350. 5.10 40. A ton of comparisons to Haloti Ngata only more athletic. Ability to actually line up at different spots along the line. I admittedly have not watched Cooleys breakdown but my God he must have a different opinion of the skill sets this guy has than every other talking head in the business.
Anyway Im stoked for the draft and im going to stop trying to sell you guys on Vea now - finish work - buy something really delicious from the micro brew cooler - and watch us knock the first two rounds out of the park! HTTR!
Still praying that somehow we stick at 13 and trade way back into the second to pick up a third. If we have to throw in a fourth rounder in 19 im fine with that.

Because there aren’t many 350 pounders who are freaky fast.
And he is going to be our 350 lb freaky fast beast.

Yes which is why I hope we trade back and take Hurst who can do BOTH penetrate and stuff the run, his health issue has been cleared but it has caused his stock to fall.
