To me he's the 2nd best player overall in the draft behind Nelson.. Have watched tape on both and they are both Elite talent. Chubb is right behind at 3.
My thing with Smith is he has the speed, playmaking ability and can cover a TE. He just looks like a potentially great player that doesn't come off the field. Plus he is a pure tackler. We just haven't had many guys like that on our defense. I just don't think Smith will be there at 13.

If the safeties are gone and Rosen is there at 10, trade up with Oakland to grab him.

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkWe aren't trading up for anybody the best bet is a trade down but if we can't find a partner to trade down with then we'll make a pick at 13.

This would fall under the "nightmare scenario" for me. I'm not a big Rosen guy to begin with, and we don't need him at 13 let alone trading up.

Scrolling across the bottom of espn screen...Redskins: only team to allow at least 4.5 yards per rush the last 3 season.
I can’t stress this enough, NT/DT is a major fucking need. It’s pathetic...
2.7 yards per rush last year when Jonathan Allen and Matt ionitas were healthy. We definitely need to upgrade at DT, but we made upgrades last year - we were just decimated by injuries so we didn’t get to see the improvement over the course of the entire year that we should have seen. This draft is also supposedly fairly deep at NT. It’s not imperative to reach for Vea or Payne when there should be a far superior player like Fitzpatrick, smith, James or Edmunds still on the board.

He'd be my pick in 2 seconds. Just imagine having a LB that can actually cover TE's.
Would love him or edmunds. If one of them fell to us, it would be hard to even consider offers to Trade down.

Yet im seemingly the only one on this board who would consider Vea anything more than a consolation prize at 13. [emoji849]

He isn’t a pass rusher because he doesn’t have any moves and he needs a lot of work in that area of his game, listen to Cooley’s breakdown.
He wins with power and as strong as he is the ridiculous mismatches he has in college aren’t going to happen nearly as often in the pros.
I don’t have any problem with taking him if Fitzpatrick, James, Edmunds, and Smith are gone by then, which certainly could happen.
The same could be said for anyone of the players drafted tonight as far as the pros being a tougher ballgame. He will get even stronger and he will get better hopefully in the pass rush department. Just do not underestimate the value that a huge agile piece of meat like Vea brings to the rest of our front 7 as far as them being freed up to get to the quarterback. Also for that matter how that helps the secondary.

We shouldn’t reach, but an entire offseason and NOT get NT again is completely and utterly incompetentence by the front office. It’s not a coincidence that we haven’t had a viable NT these 3 years and have averaged 4.5 ypc against, worst inthe league. I really really wished we have gotten Hankins.
