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. 

I agree, This defense was entirely built around DJ reader and what he brought to the team.  They need a guy who can eat double teams, stack and shed for run stops and free us up to run nickel.  If we don't get Tart or Trade Tee for someone like Derrick Brown.  The only guy who fits the mold in the draft is Sweat.  Outside of that then Lou will have to redesign his defense. move to more 3-linebackers or dual box safety sets and draft a gap-penetrating DT good enough to draw those same double teams.
