Virginia Tech lost defensive tackle Tim Settle to the NFL, but other than that the defensive line returns intact. They will also add several talented redshirt freshmen into the mix at defensive end, and depth at that position should be just fine. However, depth at defensive tackle is iffy right now, and the future of that position is even more questionable.
