Vita Vea is a first rounder all day long. I think he is just what we need if we're going to continue to play a 3-4. It is very difficult to find a dominating NT and he is a lock to dominate, IMO. Like any rookie, he has some things to work on but the size, strength, and athletic ability are already there.
Vea is a player who was routinely double-teamed and sometimes triple-teamed in college. He is a real load against the run but he is also very good at pushing the pocket. He has a burst and a great motor. He also moves well laterally.
Were talking about a 6-4, 350 lb. presence in the middle. He is the kind of player we should want next to a speed rusher. That's because he will demand a double team and free up other defensive linemen.
