Tuitt and Hageman would be in the exact same boat as Jackson was four seasons ago. Projects who are going to struggle against NFL OL's.

The position and system itself requires "just a guy" who is adapt at stopping the run. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Jackson qualifies.

As well, there is the potential, if Sutton chooses to do so, of running a 46 a bit more with Powe at NT and shifting Poe out to the DE.

Either that or run a 34 like the Ravens did with Kelley (Powe) at NT and Ngata (Poe) at DE.

As of right now, I don't see that either Hageman (who I like a lot, btw) or Tuitt offer any substantial ceiling over what you are currently getting with Jackson - at least for the position/system.

I really don't understand your obsession with the 46.
