Depends. Has Vea been injured recently?

Our approach recently with DL, WR and OL was to bring in a vet while we drafted later picks to develop or high injury picks to rehab. the vets (LaFell, MJ, Andre, Winston, etc) would give the team time to develop the young guys or rehab the injury. This could be along the same lines. Look for us to take a late or horribly handicapped player to play behind Baker, who then either gets very slowly developed or just shuffled down the roster.
