I was listening to an interview with Chris Jones yesterday and he said he weighed 295 lbs. I started wondering why we think we need these massive 300 lb+ defensive tackles when so many of the top NFL tackles are in the 280-300 lbs range- Aaron Donald, DeForest Buckner, Eric Armstead, Cam Hayward, Grady Jarrett, Leonard Williams etc. Granted there are some significantly larger that 320 lbs like DJ Reader and Vita Tea but the top DTs seem to be in the 280-300 lbs range.
I keep hearing about how we need some "space eaters" in the portal when we have a number of DTs that fit the current NFL profile.
