Sheldon Rankins has chance to be more effective than Nick Fairley

X factor coach (besides Nolan) that we aren't mentioning here .... Ryan Nielsen. He has been known to get the most out of his players, while stressing technique & discipline.

Rankins, Onyemata, Davison ... all young guys with high ceilings & Ryan teachings could be huge for our D line development.

Think of adding Vea to that line next season and we're set for a while up front for a few years.

True but a ton of things are yet to happen between now and the draft. A ton.
There's no guarantee that the guys who are ranked highly now will even be 1st round NT next year. I remember Andrew Bilings was a top 10 pick on a lot of draft boards around this time last year.

Dude dropped to the 4th round.

I like Tyler Davison, but he's actually about the same size as Sheldon Rankins. Heck, Onyemata is as well. Vita Vea at 6-4, 340 lbs sure would look good clogging up the middle!

Yeah they're all about 6-2 to 6-4 300 pounds give or take. Must be going for speed over size

Go back to the 2013 draft for a moment ....

I know Hindsight is 20/20 however Brandon Williams was still on the board but we chose the big marshmallow (John Jenkins). Brandon was the one interior lineman who could have helped us in the trenches. He's still balling out of control up in Baltimore.

I'm so glad Ryan Pace is no longer in New Orleans

Greg Gabriel: Breaking down Washington DT Vita Vea
He may only be a two-down player in the NFL, but Vea will be a valuable interior lineman
Greg Gabriel: Breaking down Washington DT Vita Vea | Pro Football Weekly

There is the biggest under rated part of his game. He maintains the pocket and pushes double teams backwards freeing up the others. Huge mistake to under estimate him as a 2 down defender. Dude is not a fat man at NT. he is just a freaking huge man.
