If those 2 are my only choice I would have to lean Pierce as the team stands now. But honestly either would help our defense tremendously. 

Pierce doing so well might let Graham slip to us

If they want a bloke to move around and do different things take Walker. But if they want disruption off the edge I'd take Pearce

IMO you don’t spend pick 8 on a bloke you move around. Jumbo Jeremy Chinn vibes. Nah thanks.

Nah I'm talking about close to the line of scrimmage Swiss army knife. If you want player that can rush of the edge, blitz or drop into coverage from the LB position or spy the QB you take Walker. But if you want just a pure edge I'd take Pearce Jnr

The only comparison I’m making is that they are both players with no position. Chinn obvs stuck between safety and LB and Walker stuck between inside backer and 3-4 OLB. If I’m comping I’m saying Great Value Micah Parsons.

Pierce Jr blowing up the combine which was expected.  If the Panthers brass is comfortable with his desire to be great he looks like a serious contender for the pick

[Jon Snow]

Jihad Campbell would be a nice consultation prize in the 2nd if they go in a different direction at 8. But we would probably have to trade up in the 2nd to get him.

Clearly the team likes him and if the draft was today, we take this guy @8

I don't like that comparison. 

It’s underwhelming. Jalon Walker is being overrated, I feel. PFF has him as their #27th ranked player

I think so. But in all honesty this entire class is being overrated. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking his abilities as a player. We could surely use him on this team for sure. But I'm just not feeling it with Walker.

Why in gods name?  He has great measurables but no production on a good TA&M line.  This would be a horrible pick.

Exactly.  Walker is not a first rounder if all he does is edge rush.
