Duffman57 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Tim Settle reminds me a lot of Brandon Williams. He's got traits that are just flat out unique. Guys that big/thick shouldn't move like that. He's got that Wilfork/Williams wide body, with some crazy explosion off the line and the ability to bend around guys like 330lb men shouldn't be able to do. He'll end up similar at 6'1"ish 330, but the guy can legitimately play anywhere from the 4T in IMO. I think he's as good, maybe better than Vea/Payne, and with his upside, I'd take him over both of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a better player than Alonso. I don't think Alonso was the same caliber of athlete that LVE is. This is the real key here to his projection. LVE's a drag down tackler and lacks take on strength even though he's generally technically sound. His blitzes were almost always a lesson in futility. A good physical blocker can shut him down. Very curious how athletic he really is. Looks like a sudden mover but I also saw some instances where he couldn't chase a not all that fast guy down even with the angle. I made that Alonso comp back in Dec and I'm sticking with it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 1/2 years younger than Vea and played in quite a few less games than Payne who's the same age. Settle is a baby full of upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all in for Settle at 17....in Bradley's attacking 1T, shaded NT...I'm all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 3 hours ago, BrownLeader said: James Washington - Bethel Johnson Bethel Johnson was like....A+++ speed. James Washington gets an A- at best for speed. This is the only one of your comps I vehemently disagree with. Plus Bethel Johnson had a terrible catch radius. Washington has an incredible radius. Bethel Johnson was one of my favorite NFL players because of his 98 speed madden rating so I watched nearly every one of his snaps in NE and HOU. He was purely a freak of nature speed demon and an elite return man. I don't see James Washington doing either of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely the type of thing the Hokies need too, in order to make that next recruiting jump - guys like Edmunds and Settle going higher in the draft. Just really haven't had that in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Settle is a freak. He is going to be a star. Should go top 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle is a baby full of upside. Settle is an incredible talent. I want him playing NT in Wade's 3-4. I can't think of a better spot for him right now. He still has a lot of issues to iron out, but considering his youth and lack of experience, that's fine. That all said, I'd still take Vea and Payne over him at this point. Settle is in the 20 to 40 range for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a third round background score for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard not to root for this pleasant and plump young man, as the NFL draft approaches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
