Someone sell me on Bethley. He just does not seem to have the size for the SEC. I mean 6'1", 270, and even if he is heavier than that, he's only 6'1.
While it isn't ideal, there's 6-1 DTs in the NFL and littered all throughout the SEC.
He's quick and can get penetration like Chief wants. You can't have a roster full of 6-1 DTs, but to have a couple on the roster who are quick is just fine. It's better than taking a 6-5 slow guy who can't do what chief wants him to do.
Chief is a 1 gap penetrating system (though Turner came in and did some 2 gap this year, but it still isn't what Chief normally does) Quick DTs are more important to chavis than pure size. Bethley can get to 6-1 295-300. Then the only question becomes is he quick enough to make up for lacking an inch or two of height.
Florida is the best 4-3 defense in the sec and their 2 deep DTs are listed at 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, and 6-5. 6-2 versus 6-1 isn't that big of a deal. Who knows, one of those 6-2 guys may be no taller than Bethley.
