bucsfan333 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Not bad for someone who missed eight weeks. Also, apparently he had 27 QB pressures to go with his three sacks. Which is pretty impressive when you consider how long it took him to get comfortable and realize he only played 13 games; and he wasn't playing much at all in his first few games.

kgarrett12486 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Good to hear. I was adamantly against the pick at the time, but he impressed me in his limited time... Hopefully he stays healthy next year and no sophomore slump. We need him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bust, 2 down player. Licht has shown a willingness to sign high ceiling lower floor prospects. Vea fit that bill with the tag of 2 down run stopper by some coming out of college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Good job. Impressed by how much the guy improved over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggybucsfan31 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 But I was told he was a bust and Licht made the mistake of the century in passing up Derwin James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ is an all pro. Until Vea makes ones its still very possible a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And very true. But Vea was labeled a bust before he even played a down. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sryan66611 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Also point out who the hell knows what DJ would have looked like in our scheme with our coaching ... I mean Gus Bradley has really done a great job with him and is using him to his strengths. For all we know our coaches would have had him playing center field which I dont think he excels at.

He would've been behind Conte to start the year anyway. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The guy has still only played 13 games. Let's not act like we know what we're getting year in/out with him yet. Gonna take a couple seasons... I'm glad he finished strong and was one of our best players down the stretch, but let's not vote him into the HOF yet lol... Justin Evans is a good example of this...

He had his ups and downs. But the sophomore slump hits lots of guys and the beginning of the year was a mess for everyone. Players called out Mike Smith for calling coverages that hadn't been practiced at all or hadn't been practiced since the first week of camp. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe injuries can be nasty. He damn near broke his back making a play against Philly. Evans plays with great effort, can t wait to see him healthy.

Caaddy24 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I wanted Vea to be the pick at 7 overall. It was a good pick and trade back, and, he will be great I believe... but man it hurts to see Derwin James, whom most had us picking, make the first team All Pro as a rookie...

I wanted Minkah Fitzpatrick. Who clocked like the fourth fastest top speed in the NFL this year. 😁 But I'm happy with Vea. And I was against the pick at the time.

He looked like he could be stud at end of his rookie season, then regressed some and then rebounded but dealt with injuries as well. He's just starting to figure out his identity and I think with a new staff, he can take that next step. My point was, as good as Vea was in limited time, we can probably expect the league adjusts to him some next season, so lets not just pencil him down for 10+ sacks and 1st team all pro....
