Money thanks for the info. I think we all know that he has to be trying to add weight. Nobody wants him playing at 217 lbs. But I assume he has tried to add weight in previous seasons as well.  I mean really what is the expectation here?  The kid obviously struggles to gain weight. Even if he does start to gain some weight what is the realistic expectation for a kid with his genes and history of low weight to gain...maybe 13 lbs by fall?  If he does that he plays at 230 lbs. Even at that weight i'm not sure he should play too many early downs even though people are high on him. We know he can be fast and penetrate and make some plays. But there will have to be other run plays he just gets tossed around and we give up big plays. I just think its likely he's mostly a 3rd and long and 2nd and long type of DE.

DL rotation: If we get a guy like Goode who can play maybe 60% of the snaps in the middle spot, I think that could put Lockett in the middle maybe 30% of the snaps and Darton (down to 268 lbs) the other 10% share. And then Lockett could play DE for 40% of the other snaps, especially on earlier downs. Other snaps at that DE spot go to Geer at about 20% of snaps and Linton get the other 40% of the snaps.  Okechukwu mans the other outside DE spot with Fuentes-Cundiff backing him up.  Nolton and maybe Jacquez then gets some snaps here and there at the DE spots and if they progresses throughout the season maybe cut more into the rotation.  If any injuries occur  we see Fuentes-Cundiff and the freshman Nolton and Jacquez playing more.

To me that still seems a little light on bodies/talent and i'd like to bring in another 260-270 lbs DE with some talent along with a DT.
