Re: With the 13th Pick the Washington Redskins select...
Remember, Vea is not the only run stopper available.
If you want to fill the NT position with a bona fide run stopper, and you acknowledge that you're going to use Allen and Ioannidis in the nickel pass rush (why wouldn't you, they were very effective last year), then you should think about these guys in the middle rounds: Derrick Nnadi - Florida State 6'1" 317 Nathan Shepherd - Fort Mays State (D2) 6'4" 315 BJ Hill - NC State 6'3" 311 Harrison Phillips - Stanford 6'3" 307 Tim Settle - VA Tech 6'3" 329 Run stoppers in the middle of the line are very important, but not as impactful to a team overall as a stud MLB with range like Edmunds or Smith, and not nearly as impactful as rangey safeties who can flex down to cover the slot (see: Collins, Landon). We can help our run defense without Vita Vea. There are more rounds in this draft than the 1st.
