The Bucs drafted Washington defensive tackle Vita Vea (VAY-uh) last night with the 12th overall pick, trading down with the Buffalo Bills.
So what kind of player are the Bucs getting? Vea is a brute-force type player; he is a two-gapping nose tackle who wins with pure strength and size (Vea is 347 pounds!), and he moves extremely well for someone of his enormous size. He doesn’t win with finesse and technique - he is here to clobber offensive lineman for four quarters:
He is also generally extremely difficult to move as he is excellent anchoring against the run.
