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.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
