I'm just not for plugging a guy into a spot if it detracts from his ability to make an impact at their "true" position (bell) I realize this is all speculative and Bell might do great in the middle and increase his chances to make sacks bolting up the middle? who knows? But I would not make weight the final determination of his ability to stuff the middle. DJ gets knocked on for "not taking blockers" but we've all watched the highlights of him weaving through blockers to make the tackle - which is the whole point of the D, anyway.

It's not solely about size, but more about what a guy is athletically suited for. Bell played MLB in college and ILB at Pittsburgh. He's not a 4-3 OLB. Fox is. Fox has played OLB his entire life.
