Face Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-is-vita-vea-the-next-haloti-ngata I want him. I realize defenses are playing way more sub packages these days, reducing the value of the NT, but he's a big time pass rusher to, a monster bull rusher. A true 3 down nose whose not just playable on 3rd down, he's an impact player against the pass. Stud. I assume he won't be there at 25 though.....

The low motor thing is something you'd have to look deeper into. Some guys really just are slugs. But oftentimes huge DL get a bad rap, it's simply impossible for 340 pounders to go a 100% for 50-60 plays. They're going to to loaf a few. Another reason depth on the DL is so important.

Bongo59 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 He is way too inconsistent to go at 25. I see him in two or three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Taven Bryan DT/DE is a nice day 2 prospect. Is drawing comparisons to J.J. Watt. His a great combination of size/speed.strength and has been a force upfront for the Gators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanJoe Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I saw a film breakdown of him vs Ucla’s Oline. They double teamed him most of the day and even had a play where they triple teamed him. He was still super disruptive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 We can't run down every player available to us. Vea will probably be gone and we say he's not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 http://walterfootball.com/draft2018NT.php image: http://walterfootball.com/college/Washington_logo.gif Vita Vea*, NT, Washington Height: 6-5. Weight: 332. Projected 40 Time: 5.20. Projected Round (2018): 1. 2/3/18: Some sources have compared Vea to Haloti Ngata in terms of ability to play defensive end or nose tackle. They feel that Vea is a special nose tackle prospect who offers more than Danny Shelton did coming out of Washington. Vea will be downgraded in the 2018 NFL Draft because of being a nose tackle, but he still is a special and rare player. Vea has a serious combination of size, length, strength, and quickness at the point of attack. He is a heavy nose tackle who is a rock against the run and can occasionally collapse the pocket in the pass rush. Vea totaled 44 tackles, 3.5 sacks and four passes batted in 2017. He has shown the ability to contribute somewhat in the pass rush while being big, strong, and having a burst at the point of attack. 9/1/17: Vea was a load at the point of attack for Washington in 2016. On the year, he totaled 39 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss, five sacks, one force fumble and two passes batted. Vea has a serious combination of size, length, strength, and quickness at the point of attack. For the NFL, Vea projects as a heavy nose tackle who can be tough at the point of attack. He is a big, thick and strong. Vea can use his size and strength eat up blockers and generally holds gap integrity. He has a quick burst off the snap, and there are times where his size, power, and quickness overwhelm smaller interior linemen. Vea is at his best when he tries to bull his way into the backfield to cause disruption. With his upper body strength and the power in his base, Vea can push off or through blocks. He has a good motor and gives a second effort, too. Vea needs to show improvement in the pass rush during 2017. The junior needs to develop some pass-rushing moves to go with his bull rush. He has to become more consistent in creating pressure and laying hits on the quarterback in order to be a highly in-demand draft prospect. Otherwise, he could be viewed as just a nose tackle.

Number9 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 http://draftscout.tsxfiles.com/2017/12/25/rangs-nfl-draft-big-board-four-qbs-among-top-32-but-no-mayfield/ 8. Vita Vea, DT, Washington, 6-4, 344, 5.34, redshirt junior Vea is one of the true freaks of the 2018 draft. As his size suggests, Vea can dominate as a run-stuffer. He is also incredibly athletic for a man of his size, surprising opponents with his initial burst and speed in pursuit. Vea — voted by media as the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year and by Pac-12 blockers as the most dominant defensive lineman — is a prototypical nose guard with a blend of size, power and athleticism likely to earn comparisons to former freakish first-rounders Haloti Ngata and Dontari Poe as the draft approaches.

I'd be tempted to trade up for him even if we sign Suh. Could you imagine that line of Casey, Vea and Suh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
