MikeT14 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Saw this on rotoworld about Settle btw Quote NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Virginia Tech DT Tim Settle to former Patriots DT Vince Wilfork. Lofty territory, and it speaks to Settle's (6'3/335) scintillating size/athleticism combination and upside. "Settle has rare gifts for a big man with good mass, play strength, quickness, and agility," Zierlein wrote. "He has the potential to become a very good starter with a Pro Bowl ceiling if he controls his weight and maintains his conditioning." An AFC defensive line coach broke Settle down to Zierlein thusly: "I need to watch him more but Bud (Foster) moved him around and I saw a guy who can play both nose spots, 3 (technique), 4, and maybe 5. Reminds me of when (Dontari) Poe came out. He ain't Poe, but he can play all over the line like Poe could." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 In the bits I watched, I definitely saw the athleticism of Settle.. so much so, that I had to double back and verify his listed weight. His movement skill was clearly superior to that of most 330 pound prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldman9er Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 - assuming 4 QBs are off the board before #13 (not that I see Washington selecting one in rd 1 anyway) - assuming off the board : Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chubb, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Orlando Brown, Derwin James, Quenton Nelson, Mike McGlinchey, and Denzel Ward What would be your top choice (or even top 5) for # 13 overall ?

Hmmm. My top 5, in order: 1. OLB Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio 2. DT Da'Ron Payne, Alabama 3. WR Courtland Sutton, SMU 4. MLB Roquan Smith, Georgia 5.

goldfishwars Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi We're voting on Washington's pick at 13 in the draft section. It would be great to have your thoughts and votes. Thanks, GFW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short... so long as they deem a particular "NT" of these days as a legit 3 down player? I would have no problem seeing them add such a player in the top 50. Are the Redskins Really a 3-4 Defense Under Greg Manusky? https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/are-the-redskins-really-a-3-4-defense-under-greg-manusky/ar-BBICmze Yep, this has been the case for years. Definitely the last 3 years and even under Jim Haslett the redskins were in more 4 man fronts than 3 man fronts. The bolded is why I’d like to see them take Da’ron Payne if he’s available at 13 and if they don’t upgrade the NT position in free agency before the draft.

Yeah, I think the Colts take Bradley Chubb if Saquon Barkley is gone. The colts need a pass rush in the worst way. They actually have a few good young safeties with Hooker and TJ Green.

turtle28 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Great breakdown of Vita Vea by Mark Bullock here. Vea does show some pass rush ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern with Vea is that Danny Shelton was a very similar player and he’s been very mediocre in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nothing I've seen of Vea has impressed me. Every highlight I've seen is him chasing somebody down the field. Payne is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
