I don't have any issue with any of the weights with the exception of Ryan Johnson. More on him in a bit.
Sinclair is going to be most valuable as a speed athlete, and perhaps he is moved to a hybrid LB/S role? That guy is just a football player, so I don't worry about him not gaining as much as he's the one guy other than Johnson who didn't gain that seemingly needed more size.
Now Johnson... He strikes me as a guy who really was more interested in getting a Stanford degree than he was playing football. Would a kid from Alabama who was truly passionate about football, with offers from Alabama and Auburn, turn those two programs down? It's possible, but we rarely see it. So you have to ask yourself if the reason Johnson chose Stanford was because he isn't that passionate about football.
A former Cal DL who was a 4 star recruit told me he used football to get a Cal education. He never really played and quit the team as soon as he got his last semester financial aid check. Stanford and Cal are going to get these kinds of players every now and then. There is no avoiding it.
