Yep.You know, it's really funny. I've been talking Football with my Son since he was about, well, since he was I guess. Now, in the early years, he didn't really talk back much but he's gotten a lot better at that part.
Anyway, thats been a few years now. The other day, we were talking about this very thing. Both he and I like Vea. He asked me the same thing. I told him that I didn't think it was really even worth discussing. I mean, I think this is the way for us to go and maybe the introduction of Richard helps with this but, I just don't see it. Vea is not what we ever look at in this scheme. I think Hurst is what we look for at DT and I doubt that we would move up and spend that kind of capitol to take Vea. Especially if Hurst is still on the board and I see no reason why he would not be. There are a good 8 or 10 DTs that could go in the first 3 rounds. I would love to get that guy but honestly, I just don't see it.
Deadrick SenatWe'll see after the Combine, but I think someone on here said a 3rd rounder would get us from #19 to #16, and a second rounder would get us to #11. More than likely, Vea would cost us a second.
With Payne and/or Hurst likely to be there at #19, and a whole host of good stuffer NT types in the second and third rounds (Derrick Nnadi, Tim Settle, etc), I don't see the value in giving up a extra second for Vea.
Just take the time to review every team that game planned to run on us.I really like Vea and hope he's there at 19, but I can't justify trading up for a DT.
Only if insane is your idea of funny ....What would be funny is if he's sitting there at 19 and the Cowboys go WR.
Funny!! If old man Jerry hadn’t demanded we win the last (meaningless game) we would be at 16, I’ve seen a few mocks that fell #16, Ridley to Raven, #17) Vea to Chargers and 18) James FSU strong safety to Seahawks. If the draft actually fell that way I would drive to Mr Jones homes and egg and toilet paper it!!!Only if he got within a couple picks of us would i weigh the price. If he goes early I'm hoping Payne is there. If not, I go some other position (OL most likely) or trade down & try to target Settle or another NT in a later round.
That win is certainly expensive, isn't it?Funny!! If old man Jerry hadn’t demanded we win the last (meaningless game) we would be at 16, I’ve seen a few mocks that fell #16, Ridley to Raven, #17) Vea to Chargers and 18) James FSU strong safety to Seahawks.

No, we need our 2nd round pick to draft a 12 year old kid dying from cancer.
