Almost all the top DT's in the draft are 6-3+.
6-5 is pretty tall man...I like him dont get me wrong ...don't want to spend a 2nd rd pick on a NT regardless, rather go to FA

Ian Williams, Dontari Poe, Vitae Vea, etc.
Just get a REAL healthy NT in here. Please.

unless we're shifting to an entirely different scheme like a true 4-3, there's no need to waste a high pick on a penetrating fat guy; we just need a fat guy that can eat up space.

This...plus all this talk of drafting Allen and pushing him inside is silly as well. He's a 3-4 DE it would be a waste having him sit in the middle and eat up blockers.

Vea was gassed by half time. He shouldn't be on the field as much as he was.

Spoke to some NFL folks in the past few days. Lots of big buzz around #Washington's Vita Vea. Massive Freak DL. Has rare talent. Would not be shocked if he ends up as a Top 5 pick.

Well that makes it about 15 players going in the top 5

I don't see him in the top 5 at all. You got two QB's going possibly between 1-3, Saquan Barkley and either a Safety or Bradley Chubb. Calvin Ridley or Courtland Sutton may sneak into the top 5 too.

Its like this every year. Inevitably some of these guys will have bad medicals, turn out to be headcases or just plain overrated and the herd gets thinned out

I just don't ever see a NT going that high ever. Most nose tackles get 15 snaps a game. The return on investment just wouldn't be there.

Kinda gives you an idea of the talent level in this draft at other positions
