Could play NT in a three man front and will help in our DT rotation. Next year moves: Pamphile was a tackle and a former basketball player. Move him to LT and make Smith move to LG, move Marpet to Center, Sweezy at RG, then Benenoch at RT–he was a good Tackle for UCLA and can bulk up by next year. Move Datsun to the bench to cover LT and RT in a pinch. Get rid of our present Center Smith and worthless Cherilus. Hawley can backup the Center position.
Then use a fifth pick backup lineman. Cut Jackson and get a fast WR in the draft as first pick, take a good Safety in Free agency, get another DE in the second round, a larger CB in free agency who is fast, and a DT in the fourth round, a TE free agent, and BPA in the 6th and 7th round who can also play special teams.

Finally a guy in the middle of the D-line with some girth. Reminds me of a line in One Flew Over the Cucuo’s Nest. :Alright Chief I want you to just stand right here.”
