Andrew Billings played himself into a nice little contract extension last year if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes it can be more about "scheme fit" and "fight in the dog" than physical measureables and name recognition.

I had this "discussion" in another thread the other night, but it turned into an exercise of "you don't know football". One of the best goal-line stands we had last year was with Hill and Zac Carter in the middle. Hill has the size and ability to play the A Gap.

IMO the reason you need a huge DT is to keep the interior linemen from taking your LBs out of the play. Our LBs are more side-to-side than vertical.
