Lead the NFL in Sacks this year. 2nd in the NFL only behind Watt the year prior. 30 years old and will want a big deal saw they expect late 2nd or early 3rd for him.

Walker im not going to overthink it. Just turn in the film, he really impacts a lot of plays. He’s shown the bend and ability to be a pass rusher off the edge despite not playing it full time. Is he small, yes. So was another guy that came out of Georgia who was similar size. He played Edge rusher and LB. Teams over thought things when he came out as well and let him slide right down to Philly’s lap. Now he was an impact starter on this years Super Bowl winning defense

Comparing Jeanty to CMC is a joke. big reason why CMC was drafted that high was because he was an all purpose back. And CMC with 2 bad ankles would still be a better threat in the pass game then Jeanty will ever be.

Still made the pro bowl 2 out of the next 3 Back in the early 2000’s when the probowl meant something and where you didn’t end up on the ninth choice after opt outs.

I simply answered you initial statement that he didn’t do anything his first 4 years. when he made 1st team all pro in his first year (which all-pro isn’t some fan vote Gimik) Over guys like Gates etc. So yes He did do something his first 4 seasons. if you can get a 1st team all-pro rookie year with your top 10 pick. I’d say it was worth it.

“He didn’t have a 1k yard Season” Up coming HOF TE Antonio Gates had 2 1 Thousand yard seasons out of 15. TE’s weren’t utilized like today as much in the passing game despite their ability

“never had 1k yard season” Go look at the receiving stats from the TEs around that time period. Antonio Gates who is about to go in the HOF only had 2 1k seasons out of 15 seasons. they weren’t airing it out like today. If he played in todays game where guys are attempting 40 passing vs 25 back then when they were more focused on RBs and the run game. There is a reason he was 1st team all-pro

Apples and Oranges. like comparing AB and Calvin Johnson. Same position, different playing g styles and how their used Bowers is 6’3 235ish and used primarily if not just strictly as a pass catcher moved out from the slot Warren is 6’6 260 more physical not finesse. Who can be used as a blocker, but also moved out as a pass catcher. those Bowers highlights are good. But for every big deep pass play you say Warren couldn’t do like that. I can pull up Warren moving guys out of the way and pancaking guys in the run game while also making big contesting catches in the same game. Something Bowes isn’t doing.

Shockey was 1st team All-Pro as a Rookie and a Probowler 3 out of his first 4 seasons.

2 of the most plugged in guys in the draft Media Daniel Jeremiah and Peter Schrager now have Warren as number 5 and 3 overall in their board and Lance Zierline has Warren with a higher grade than Brock Bowers last year id take Warren at a and be happy……..IF……..Went went hard and heavy on D in FA. And went D with both picks in day 2, particularly DL/Edge with the depth of this crop. Then I’d be fine with Warren.

Just dropped Fell from 17th overall last year to 25th https://nflpa.com/report-cards/2025/carolina-panthers

Nolan had 6.5 sacks this season compare that to some other guys Mason Graham- 3.5 James Pearce Jr- 7.5 Jalon Walker- 6.5 Mykel Williams- 5 So it’s safe to say Nolan gets after the QB. And interior pressure is the worse kind of pressure for QBs

On day 3 we Should be taking one. i could easily see them using one of our 4ths on one. Everyone is talking his this is one of the strongest and deepest RB class’s in several years. There should be a stud falling out of day 2. This is a multi back league. Sanders will probably be cut. And really, we should go in as if Brooks isn’t even apart of this team as bad as it sounds. He is going to miss his first 2 seasons as a rookie and back to back major knee injuries to a RB is hard for guys playing that position who rely so much on cutting etc. Canales cones from the Pete Carrol tree. And when Dave was in Seattle. 2016 took RBs rd 3 And rd 5 in 2018 they took a RB in rd 1 2019 they took a RB in rd 6 2020 took a RB rd 4 2022 took a RB 41st overall (rd 2) 2023 took a RB 52nd overall (rd 2) 5 out of 8 drafts took a RB rd 4 or higher

He’s my favorite followed by Mike Green for the 8th pick.
