Conner Rogers has him at 55. Those are some huge swings.

It's hard to get a sense of how these guys stack up with such a wide range of rankings.  I'm beginning to think they are just mocking these guys rather than coming up with a true overall rank.

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.

And he is a solid dude, a team leader.  His quickness is outstanding and I suspect if he runs a mid 4.4 we probably would have to move up to get him, which I am not comfortable doing.  Id do somersaults if he is there at 8

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

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

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

It is really hard to gauge Walker because he is not nailed to one position, so your comparisons are very limited--that probably explains the range of opinions on him.  I think he wears 11 for a reason, and that is to make people compare him to Parsons.  The Combine will be huge for him.

You gotta trust your evaluation. I could def see T-Mac being the highest rated WR in the draft, and available at 8. If you think he's Mike Evans, you have to take him. If you think he's just an above average NFL player, I think you have to go defense. That said, if he's there at 8, I could see somebody knocking on our door trying to get him. I don't want to trade out of 8, but I do see a scenario where it could be our best option if all the defensive players we value that highly are gone. 

This is why the scouts make the big bucks.

I agree with both these takes.. walker doesn't have the production nor the solidified position to be talked about as a blue chip prospect in this draft. He's a very good player.. but elite? Why? Where?

Yeah, I'm a Georgia alum, and I don't see Walker as elite...not yet, anyway.

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. 

As a guy who was a defensive coordinator at Walker's high school years ago, (coincidence and not related to my point), I look at the fact that some teams will try to keep your run defense on the field and transition a back and TE to WR roles without subbing and forcing you to keep your run D on the field to defend them.  However, if we had a Strongside Edge who could move inside to a 3, 4i, or 5 technique, Parsons could then slide in beside him as an edge.  In other words, the way I am seeing it without giving it a ton of thought, it would give you a dominant pass rush on passing downs.  If you did that, your NT would stay put, which is why Evero likes smaller NTs that can pressure the passer.  Then Brown, for example, could slide out to a 3, 4i, or 5 technique and your rush edge (only in this situation) could rush--giving you 5 DL/Edge getting after the QB from any number of alignments, with the option to drop Walker or the rush edge into coverage.  Then the MLB, Nickel, and maybe a S could blitz because a RB and TE in this formation can be covered with a lone S or even the LB in some cases.  Whew.  I have seen offenses running the hurry up doing this more and more, and the large edge-holding Edge and a hybrid ILB could be the answer.

Zierlien compares him to Nolan Smith.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
