I would like to know if Walker is going to market himself as an edge or hybrid ILB? It is easy to say Micah Parsons and move on, but we are talking Evero here--has anyone heard anything or are we assuming Walker is a LB who can move to edge etc. like MP?  It is hard to give him value if we don't really know where he will play--he is small for an edge, imo, but that is his best spot--any opinions?

I don't think you need him to fill a box. You probably slap him at linebacker and ask him to rush on passing downs or slip him as a spy, or drop him off into coverage off the line. I see him more as an edge guy but I don't think he is limited to that.

So like Micah Parsons?

I’ve loved him.  But seeing him shoot to number 3 overall on Dane Brugler’s board.  I hope he falls to 8 still.

I've also see him at 16th overall. These guys are all over the map with these rankings.

That’s probably outdated.

pretty much every ranking (outside PFF) now has him top 5-7

I saw it this morning on GMFB. I do not remember which draft "experts" list it was but the rankings.

I have seen the opposite. Early on he was a top 10 guy not so much here lately.

None of the ESPN guys have him o it side the top 10 anymore

CBS sports had him in the Teens, now Mike Renner over there updating it here the last week or 2 moving him to 5th overall.

33rd team has him top 10 now, and does Draftnetwork

Dane Brugler just put him at 3.  Daniel Jeremiah put him at 6

these are all ones that have been updates since conference championship weekend

Walker is a beast. An absolute beast and Ive always thought once he tests at the combine he is going to shoot up the board and probably will not make it to 8.   He may be my favorite prospect in this draft

Walker is not a tweener. He is a versatile LB who can rush the passer from multiple positions and also play the run and cover.  He is a better version of Luvu and Evero has already shown that he knows how to use a player like that.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
