he was a verbal to Alabama – they wanted him at OT and he wants to play DT and he is 6’6" 340 lbs 4*. He would be a huge get literally in more ways than one.
is another target of ours through FA (maybe too expensive, though), but they have a lot in common. Gerald McCoy and Jones at the higher end. Maybe Malik Jackson at the lower end.
One advantage of a taller DT like him is that he can get his arms up and disrupt some of the short zone passing that so many teams do now, and both he and Ferrell have some position flexibility, so we can move them both around depending on who we’re playing and on down/distance.
Pairing him/protecting him with a very good NT who can suck up blockers and free him up a bit to be disruptive is good also.
