And our NT is 33yo.
Broncos did try to trade for Shelton so you know they see a need too.

That would be worth the "reach" I think. Let's do it.

I'm skeptical of any 340 pound human being a 3 down defender. Plus there will be too many other talented players who play more valuable positions that will be available to even think about Vea.
I'd much prefer Nelson, who would contribute every down, and whose profile is much more difficult to acquire these days as opposed to a massive run stopper. Or I'd prefer to take the best DE or DB on the board as opposed to grabbing a 340 lb run stuffer.
I'm generally of this opinion, but I'd also be fine with Vea by way of Parcell's planet theory. Also, reducing Vea to 'massive run stuffer' is inaccurate. He's the heart of one of college football's best defenses and plays with a high motor until the end of the fourth quarter. He generates interior pocket collapse, commanding two linemen to contain. Wins one on ones far more often than stalemates, rarely loses. Sometimes destroys guards. His sack and batted ball numbers don't say 'massive run stuffer.'
I like Nelson under the 100% offensive snap idea, but even the best interior defensive guys are 70% snap guys. I'd prefer Nelson on the hunch he's the superior football player, but I'd be fine with Vea.

I don't want Vea as he's not an every down player.
I don't want Baker Mayfield as he doesn't have prototypical size and possesses the lowest of floors.
I don't want Denzel Ward due to his size.
Give me one of the top 3 QBs, Barkley, Chubb or Nelson, essentially.
no way. . . buff's 100% right, it's crazy to spend a top-five pick on a two-down player. . . you can find a perfectly productive NT without breaking the bank these days-- look how well we did with peko last year. . . if they want more depth behind him, stick tyrique jarrett out there. . .
