Taller is better for the DE, but 300'ish pounds is about right for Patriots style DEs.
Also, don't get overhwlemed by the need to instantly switch to 3-4. Even BB ran the 4-3 when he first came here, mixing in a little 3-4, because his PERSONNEL at the time would not let him run a 3-4 defense very well.
Even if Pioli and the HC want to go to a 3-4, you should not expect to see it on opening day next year as the primary defensive alignment.
