Chapman will also move off the line of scrimmage slowly when tired. He will need to work on his overall conditioning to have value in the NFL.

Legit question here. To an extent no one here can answer this because we've never played the position but I'll pose it anyways.
This is why I have a problem with a 315 lb NT. Even if they're as strong as an ox. Yes, they can use that strength and not get pushed back. Basically eat up space. But what happens when a 315 NT is tired vs a 345 lb NT is tired? What happens in the 4th Qtr. The 345 lb NT can take a play off here or there or not to put it better "not have to exude his utmost strength" relying on his pure mass to help him out. 315 lb NT who isn't able to give you 100% because he is gassed is going to get taken for a ride backwards.
Impossible to go all out 100% every down.
Thoughts?
I'm not saying I'm against Chapman. I'm just saying if he comes here, feel free to hit up Oklahoma Joes any time you want big boy.
