Wharton didn’t quite put it together until last year. I think ONM can give us 2024 Wharton this year bc his ceiling is higher.
Thank God we took guys with pass rush ability like bc I never understood the appeal for guys like Alfred Collins who had size but wasn’t that much of a pass rusher aside from a strong bull rush.

It's just a LOT easier to find a viable alternative to someone like Collins on the 3rd day or UDFA.
Nazir Stackhouse is someone I mentioned - he'll give you 90% of what Collins can, IMO.
Finding that for an interior pass rusher is rare. It's what made Wharton such a coup. Those just do not happen very often.
