Redskins continue to address DT, snag Tim Settle in Round 5

The Washington Redskins have selected defensive tackle Tim Settle out of Virginia Tech with the 163rd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Settle is the second defensive tackle they've selected over the last few days, as the club used its first-round pick on Da'Ron Payne from Alabama. Interior defensive line was a weakness for Washington last year.

What the analysts are saying

• "Has rare gifts for a big man with good mass, play strength, quickness, and agility." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Eagerness and quickness off the ball contribute to over-running gap responsibilities at times and must continue to develop better awareness and discipline." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
• "Settle is a perfect nose tackle prospect who can eat up space and anchor against the run, but also collapse the pocket and force opposing quarterbacks to look for greener pastures." - Luke Easterling, DraftWire
