I agree; Walker isn't nearly as good a prospect as Luke was. Mykel won't be a complete bust, IMO, but I agree with your take that I'm not sure he'll ever be a true impact player either.

Honestly, the only defensive player outside of Carter and Hunter that I feel is a safe projection is Mason Graham. I just feel like if we're going to be taking a risk on an EDGE in the top-10 we should go with the guy with the higher ceiling in Walker.

I would disagree with this and most teams would as well. Ton of teams have him rated similar to Micah Parsons. Also not a chance the Panthers pass him up if he's available.

I think there’s a difference in saying he can be used similarly to Parsons and saying he’s going to be as good as Parsons. If teams thought he was going to be THAT good he’s not falling past #4. I think Walker’s top 5% outcome he could be that good, but it’s far from his median outcome.

My concern is if he spends most of his time as an EDGE he will more or less be historically small to play that spot. Parsons has more length which I think is really important for an EDGE.

So... if I'm reading the tea leaves here it sounds like:

- If we stay at 8 then it is Mason Graham or Mykel Williams (in that order)

- If we trade down in the 1st it would be Mykel Williams, Walter Nolen, or Donovon Ezeiruaku (in that order)

Makes sense, I guess. DL or Edge in the 1st is the focus.

Teams are comparing him to Micah and teams are dumb and don't like taking chances high in a draft. 

 

Walker has longer arms than Micah by half an inch. Walker is two inches shorter but weighs the same as Micah.

The only RB there being Ollie Gordon is very interesting.  Big guy and ran a 4.61 at the combine but looks faster than that in games.  This draft has a plethora of backs to choose from

Don't know him, but you gotta love this:

Strengths

  • Big back with frame and demeanor for volume carries.
  • Gets going downhill without much dancing.
  • Adequate burst with plus tackle-breaking ability between the tackles.
  • Uses stiff-arm and shoulders to batter tacklers in space. 
  • Possesses an insatiable thirst to score when he smells paint.
  • Smooth screen release with natural hands.
  • Capable of handling protection asks with more work.

-Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia 
-Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma 

I looked at both of these guys and Andreas Keaton in my mock. I see them all going in rounds 3-4. Bowman is my favorite but also the consensus favorite and should go 10-15 picks before either of the others.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
