Weathersby is listed at 6'5".

I don't know how low he plays/pad level but it seems like at that height some shorter, stronger DT are gonna have serious leverage on him.

Can he play inside? We've got an excess of talented guards, I'd hate to see us fall into the trap of playing true tackles at guard, like we have been doing with playing guards at tackle.

If Deculus starts at one of the tackle spots I'd rather see Malone / Weathersby come in as the 6th lineman. I prefer that to watching a 5'11" nose get under their pad level and collapse the pocket from the interior.

OTs are supposed to be tall. They need long arms. The problem with tall, guys that are too heavy is that they're too slow.
