it's doubtful he starts next year or is even the 4th dt. ford, willis, bethel and one of norton/mcintosh. he's gonna play, but, will be sparingly and certain situations.
Agree. Ford/Norton and Willis/McIntosh/Bethel leaves him fighting for PT. Now if Norton cuts for the NFL, I do think Nesta will get serious burn at that spot.
Not so sure about that. I don't trust that Willis will be back (I hope I'm wrong). And while Ford and Bethel have contributed, neither are world-beaters. Depending on what happens with Norton and McIntosh, there's a good chance Silvera plays alot as a FR.

Pretty sure he will be in the Norton/Moten/Ford NG/over spot. Willis, McIntosh, Bethel all play the 3 tech/under. Nesta appears to be a little bigger than our 3 techs. In short, it will come down to Norton and Ford. This means Nesta will play much like Ford has played behind Moten (injuried) and Norton. Does he jump Ford? Potentially

I like his first step and lateral movement, but am concerned about pad level and overuse of bull rush.
What’s awesome about the above noted, the first two can’t be taught and are the most important things being a DL, while the other two can be taught.

100%.
That's why people need to slow down a little bit with all the excitement. He's gonna need to be coached up when he gets here. He's extremely raw and one-dimensional right now... and that one dimension doesn't work on the next level. I've seen film of him at camps getting absolutely nowhere trying that bull-rush stuff against legit linemen. The good news is that the traits he has are uncoachable. He's freakishly strong and explosive and has a nasty demeanor. I think he probably knows how to use other tools but he genuinely enjoys putting his hands on people and moving them.
