Neither of them are "small". Or even really much smaller, just compared to the Bengals normal love of giant stork-armed DEs. Khalil Mack and Von Miller are both 250. I think what most "armchair GMs" were calling for were smaller faster LBs, so TEs, running QBs, and pass catching RBs don't routinely destroy the Bengals D. Instead they keep getting slow 250-260lb LBers and some unknown jackass named Jack Doyle puts up 12/121/1 against them after having 0 games of 80+ yards in the previous 4.5 years of his career.
Also... Lawson is listed as a DE, not a LB, according to NFL.com

That was the point. People have wanted pass rushers. Lots of good ones are not 6'6" 280lbs. Around here not moving slow like MJ Gilberry Geathers Clarke etc makes you a speed rusher
Lawson was playing LB in training camp. Moch was also a good pass rusher. Guess which head coach put him at LB?
Also... Go look at what Lawson is listed at on Marvin Lewis' roster. Hint. Its LB
