Going with Tevita Tuliakiono Tuipuloto Mosese Va'hae Faletau Vea here.

I'm going Ward.  The size is an issue, but everything else is there for him to be a shutdown CB.  At worst, it looks like he could be a huge upgrade in the slot.

[Tetsujin]

6'5" 340 lb, great strength, athletic, and can play football. No-brainer.

Draft is a week and a half away.. let's round these out

Easily should be Ward.  Vea is a 2 down player IMO, and when you play the Patriots twice every season that’s a big liability since Brady is great at controlling the game tempo........Pats will speed it up to prevent substitutions and adjustments.  

Ward would be a day one starter for us and IMO fills a bigger need, even if he is only our nickel back.  Teams play a lot of nickel these days and we currently have no one that can cover the smaller quick route players like Edelman.

I do have to admit that McCain made some strides last year, but I'm with you on Ward.  You just can't have enough quality CBs, and Tankersley could use the competition.

I kind of want to change my vote from Vita to Ward after additional consideration. I'll give it a few hours.
