That said, I’m not sure where Watt fits in. There are X’s & O’s to consider, and I’m not a 3- technique vs. 5-techniques expert. But, I’m sure that any DC would love to have Heyward, Tuitt, Hargrave, and Watt as his D-line. Again, I’m not sure if that works technique-wise... but, Heyward has played DE & NT, and thus, he seems like he’d be able to play DT.
