Otherwise he's been mediocre.
Even Dunlap hasn't been that consistent of a pass rusher.
Gilberry hasn't been productive since 2013. So I'm not sure what your point on him is.
Go look at sack leaders in the NFL. The vast majority of EDGE RUSHERS are under 270 lbs. Most fit that 265 lbs mold.
Ends like Watt and now Bosa, do most of their damage moving inside while the OLB rushes the edge.
Edge rushers tend to do better when they aren't incredibly tall and heavy.
Dunlap is a very rare anomaly in that regard.
We've seen very little production from drafted DEs since Dunlap.
What do they all have in common? Big heavy edge guys not built for rushing from DE.
