CJ West is a DT prospect who POPS on film.

Posted an 88.1 run defense grade in 2024 to go with his 25 pressures. Capable of playing 1 or 3 tech.

At 6'1, 314lbs, he reminds me a bit of Poona Ford. pic.twitter.com/Ao5nMy0gWL

Well, I may not be getting the nasty o-line I desired, but I will take a nasty hard-hitting defense. Gentlemen, it feels like we are returning to our roots of having a stellar defense.

Best of the picks so far. This dude has starter written all over him. All this D means we won't need 30 to win next season. Feeling good about that but we need some oline now.
