Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via Buffalo): Vita Vea, DL, Washington

Strengths: Massiveness, athleticism for someone who possesses such massiveness.

Weaknesses: Leverage, pass-rush creativity.cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping

First of all: smart move by the Bucs to trade down. Saquon Barkley, Quenton Nelson and Bradley Chubb, the three players who could help them the most, were off the board. The Bucs got some later value by doing little more than letting the quarterback-starving cut in front of them.

Vita Vea began his high school career as a 260-pound Wildcat quarterback. Think about that for a moment: a 260-pound high school freshman playing quarterback. If I was a parent in the bleachers and saw Vea running straight downhill into a group of 15-year-olds, nfl cheap jerseys nike I would pull my kid straight off the field and sign him up for the cross-country team.

Vea remained a two-way player for his entire prep career, rushing for 578 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior and, as this video indicates, sidestepping almost as many would-be tacklers as he obliterated.

Vea is an athletically rare human, both bigger and more nimble than even the typical top defensive tackle prospect. Bill Parcells’ old Planet Theory dictates that you don’t quibble about little details on the scouting report when a player like Vea comes along, because too few of them exist. nfl nike jerseys for cheap So don’t worry about the fact that Vea starts playing too upright when he’s worn down from facing 40 straight double-teams, because the Bucs should provide him with more rest and more line support than the Huskies did, and NFL conditioning will also help keep him fresh.

Maybe the Bucs can even let Vea play a little running back, like the good old days. Because heaven knows they need the help there, too.nike nfl jerseys wholesale cheap
