I think Jay Ratliff is about the only lighter NT in the league that I can think of. Even if there is another, the other 98% of NTs in the league are your 330+ space eaters. That style has proven to be successful. I want that.

It would be nice if Josh Chapman had more weight. I'm not huge on taking only 330+ pounders, but Chapman is pretty light. 310 is about where he measures.
The reason why I'm not concerned at all about Chapman? He squats 630 lbs and benches 600. Those are the best numbers out of anyone on Alabama's team, at least at the start of last season. Poe may have had an impressive combine, but I'll betcha anything that if Chapman didn't have his injury and was able to get measured at the combine we'd be talking about HIM as the physical freak and not Poe.
It'd be nice if he could naturally get a bit heavier, but it's not a must. He's absolutely got the technique advantage over any other NT in this draft, and he'll have no problems at all in the conditioning department.
