He is the understudy to Osa and hopefully develops into a similar caliber player

Our DL should come in non stop waves if everyone is healthy

Dude is a run stopper too according to stats.

Nope...he is a pass rushing DT

penetrator who shoots the gap

I like both this pick and Height. I think the D-line can approach 2019-2022 levels if everyone is healthy.

He can do both, very high motor and athleticism.

So we just acquired 2 penetrating dts. Quite the contrast from last years draft. I wonder if collins and west are not scheme fit for raheem morris defense.

Probably my fav. pick of the draft in terms of being able to contribute right away to what should be a nice DL rotation.

Weird fit because he's competing for the same spot as Williams in the nascar package. But we needed a backup DT and he can push anderson and valdez off the roster.

Oklahoma DT Gracen Halton (6-2 1/2, 293) has 8.5 sacks the last two seasons

How?
♦?Quick first step
♦?2nd in pressures among SEC DT(30)
♦?Gets skinny between gaps
♦?Noteworthy swim move, chop, & spin
♦?Crosses face of OL

Comp: Kobie Turner

This. I'm sure he had a high "hair on fire" grade
