Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2018 draft: Analysis for every pick
Breaking down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2018 draft class.
My take: The Bucs went for best available rather than addressing pressing secondary needs and this will catch them some flak, even if Vea is the next coming of Haloti Ngata. They had their shot at Florida State safety Derwin James or could have gone with cornerback Jaire Alexander, but instead, they selected the 6-foot-4, 347-pound Vea to pair next to six-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy. Vea can eat up double teams, freeing up McCoy to get into the backfield, but Vea can also plow his way in there, too, registering 9.5 sacks in his three years at Washington.
