Miller was a little taller and a little longer but people make way too much about an inch or two on these measurements.

Parsons is a couple inches taller but his arms are actually shorter than Walker's.Screenshot_20250324-113938.thumb.png.bce667c34f72b3addbb614bb0725a7fe.png

Exactly,  his arm length  is longer than parsons and at basically  the some weight.  Some guys just play way bigger Than their size. He flashes on film more than anybody outside of Carter.

Turn in the card. 

Yeah when you look at the film, he does seem to get a good separation(hands on tackle) from the lineman. Just didn't know it was at 32. Dudes a true athletic freak.

I like Walker. Not sure if he'll ultimately be an edge or off the ball LB who is a great blitzer but either way I think he's a player. Draft him to play EDGE with the backup plan of putting him off the ball.

That seems like a compromise you shouldn’t have to make at 8. He might end up a decent player but I don’t any reason to compromise at 8. The same thing happened with Bryce Young.

And everyone always ragging on Hurney about picking non premium players but want a off ball LB in the top 10. So we are back to picking outliers for top 10 picks if they think he is a rush end. A lot of draft people don't even rank him with the edge players. Then some complain about Burns run stopping but this guy is smaller.

6'5 250 vs 6'2 245

It’s all word salad for people who are caught up on measurements. Watch the tape. He’s an edge rusher, but gives you an added bonus of rushing inside or spying on obvious passing downs. He’s also tenacious in pursuit from everywhere. The role will be similar to Micah Parsons role in Dallas. It’s not a real/project, tweener deal.

If you don't want to compromise with an edge rusher you better be drafting top 3. You don't find Julius Peppers ideal prototypes at #8. It's why I lamented winning those games at the end of the year. Now we pay the cost.

Why are people acting like there is a path to winning the draft?

Is doesn't matter if you're drafting on measurables, college production or potential, especially in the top half of the first round.  Teams with all the resources in the world hit on a top 10 picks roughly about 40% of the time.

This doesn't mean teams can't get some advantage.  Teams are slightly better than random chance at selecting the right player that will be average or better in the NFL.

I really like Walker but I've put some time in researching Mykel Williams and there is a lot to like. 

Physical traits are off the chart.
He's 20 and already very good.
He has a low snap count because Georgia is deep so they rotate a lot of elite talent.  This also bears out historically as many Georgia players have better NFL stats.
He gets consistent pressure relative to his snap count.
Really good against the run.
Perfect fit for Evero and our defensive system.
Canales and thus the Panthers are a developmental type coaching staff. 
Lines up every everywhere from 4i to edge.  (4i is inside the tackles inside shoulder and shows big time hybrid DT skills, again is perfect for Evero)
In the SEC title game against Texas he had 2 sacks and 5 qb pressure.

I'd love him here as a Panther.

If we knew what players are ready to start game 1 or are worthy of a top ten pick we would not be having this conversation. 

It's such as easy choice that teams spend millions of dollar to help make the decision and can still only do a little better than random chance. 

I don't think he's as much of a project as people think due to snap count and how Georgia rotates players.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
