PFF grade him as a linebacker which includes his coverage and run defense grades, which are terrible. Purely as an edge he grades out as one of the best (like 83.6 or something).

If we draft him we need to make him a full time pass rusher.

I think you got that backwards:

Quote

Walker is a physically and athletically gifted player who presents box presence versatility as an off-ball linebacker. His anticipation and pass-rush profile in its current form are lacking for consistent impact in the NFL. He must improve how he approaches rushing the passer or his off-ball instincts to be worth a top-50 selection due to age and potential.

PFF

If true, I think this speaks to the fact that we really have missed Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly as the vocal leaders on defense. Jalon does everything the right way. He works hard, he plays hard, and he rallies his guys and communicates well.

We better not base our decisions on PFF grades.

He is right up the street, gonna be at home for the draft. It will be a breeze to hop in the car and drive down to BoA after the pick is made. Hell, It's almost gonna be awkward if we don't take him if he is there. Lol

Let’s hope some team beats us to the punch and keeps us from making that mistake. 

I've said all along he's the pick and he will be available. Just accept the pick and be ready to cheer for him. 

 

He will play edge for the Panthers at OLB.

he would raise the defense immediately, how high is his ceiling, I dont know but he would have an immediate impact and we simply cannot afford another physically gifted RAS project

I think in theory he should but I do think Evero may struggle maximizing his abilities.

      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?
