BH's Round 1 (+Full Panthers) Mock

[Aussie Tank]

Great work, this is quality content much better than paying for Only Fans 

[MHS831]

Good job, BH--this takes time and intelligence.  It seems you had at least one of them here You and I are pretty close--and that should scare you a bit.

That’s a stretch. He was much better in zone and took on spy responsibilities well this past season. If you’re talking 2023 he had some growing pains but what he was asked to do with UGA translates to a diverse role in the NFL. Nolan Smith in ways - Eagles started playing him more off all this past year along with edge work and it turned out nicely.

They will move him around to all 4 LB positions, hes not just an edge

If the Panthers are on the clock and Sanders is in the green room, probably fuming with his daddy, does Pittsburgh call?  (They do not have a second rounder).  Does Cleveland attempt to move back up and grab a QB?  It would cost them 33, 67, 94 and a 2026 second rounder. 

Or do you take Jalon Walker? 

 

Everybody’s been screaming for a trade-down all off-season. If they can an offer this way, they should take it

[Bear Hands]

The Beast comes out tomorrow which usually drops a lot of hints and good intel. Will probably influence some opinions and stuff so wanted this out before

Both mocks on Walter Football now have Shedeur falling to 33.  Once the first two teams pass on him in the first round, the bottom could fall out.  Who will trade up to catch a falling knife?

We certainly tried with Clausen back in the day.

The trade scenario I thought of was with Membou and the Seahawks at 8. They’ve expressed strong interest in him. 

If the Walker buzz is as strong as rumored, Membou (or maybe Campbell) could be the odd man out there at 8. NO, CHI, MIA plenty of teams need OL ahead of SEA and they have a ton of picks. 

We get 18 and one of their seconds at min. This year may not be as good a return as other years but the player value could hold — we still end up with Ez/Mykel/Tet/etc. at 18.

They are going to use him like Luvu, they play very similarly 

They will take Mykel Williams if they want another Luvu.

Ok. You’re entitled to your opinion. I think he’ll be primarily a Jack they move inside on obvious passing downs to either blitz or spy. Still doesn’t put him as even a “ILB hybrid” for me, because you basically still need a two down starter at Mike or Will outside of Walker.

I think you make fair points and it’s good convo. Walker’s big ability is disrupting the passer right now, so naturally, his role should be primarily an edge at the onset.  I could have framed it in a better way that wasn’t as off-ball centered.

Outstanding work 

[CanadianCat]

Honestly I've been unexcited about Walker. Im not usually a fan of 'hybrid' players. They rarely workout (all respect to TD)

But after watching Luke talk about him... Im all in on him being the pick
