I know we are going to trade down but if Vea dropped I hoped we would get him.

Love this kid -- reminds me of Tez, but obviously bigger and maybe a little faster -- hope he has as distinguished a career.

What's funny is ESPN commentators said "This pick actually shocks me, Derwin James was still available..."

Really? Tampa Bay needed to stop the run, but a DB (albeit an elite one) should have been taken over Phenom Vita Vea? What idiots.

The draft rule is NOT, "BPA over all else," it's "BPA with a sprinkling of need." If you've got 2 players with similar grades, but one fits a need, you balance that against BPA. If your team is getting gashed in the running game (not sure about TB D), but your pass D is okay, then you go with the elite run stopper that's being compared to Haloti Ngata!
