Coming from Alabama, it isn't a stretch as Payne could take on the lead role for the Crimson Tide with Jonathan Allen moving on to the NFL. Payne is a run plugger with a lot of potential to grow. Christian Wilkins*, NT, Clemson Height: 6-4. Weight: 310. Projected 40 Time: 5.00. Projected Round (2018): 1-3. 4/13/17: Wilkins played well for Clemson in 2016 as part of a tough defensive line that controlled the point of attack. The sophomore recorded 48 tackles with 13 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and 10 passes batted. Wilkins made 33 tackles and two sacks as a freshman in 2015. He has a nice skill set with upside. Vita Vea*, NT, Washington Height: 6-5. Weight: 332. Projected 40 Time: 5.20. Projected Round (2018): 1-3. 4/13/17: Vea was a load at the point of attack for Washington in 2016. He totaled 39 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss, five sacks, one force fumble and two passes batted. Vea has a serious combination of size, length, strength, and quickness at the point of attack. |

Re: Sheldon Rankins has chance to be more effective than Nick Fairley
Agreed and he is a top 5 IMO. If he continues to develop mare of a well rounded skill set and consistency I will be happy to move him up the board.
Right now it is upside on most draft boards which means he has not done it yet but the odds he will are good. he gets the keep a close ![]() |

If not , Vea is projected as a mid-first-round pick as of now and we should make every effort to take the Big Boy... |
