2025 draft DE consensus board update

[TheDank]

Walker is propped up by his character is my understanding because he's not a great off ball LB and his pass rush skills mostly comr from his closing burst, which is admittedly impressive. Tbf if you told me you could get a player with high chatacter, football IQ and is a good athlete.. hell yeah sign me up. But when you try to figure out where he fits it starts to get tough.

I like him more mid first than top 10.

Is the DC smart enough to know how to use Walker and Parsons together? If so, I could see something special. If not, then it might not be a good pick.

Will be fun to watch if this is what the do though. Base probably closer to a 3-4 look with Walker or Parsons coming, and the other dropping into middle zone.

I could see that being a little confusing to QBs.

I’m just trying to expand my options so I’m not sad when it’s not Tet or golden lol

The other possibilities that would not surprise me are one of the OLs (Campbell, Membou or Banks), the second RB (Hampton) or one of the CBs (Johnson or Barron).

I don't see OL as as big of a need as WR, RB and CB, but we did just lose our Hall-of-Famer and seem to be bringing in all kinds of cheap bodies at the position (Jones, Charles, Adeniji) possibly to compete with what we've already got (Hoffman, Bass, Richards) to replace him. Our front office has had a lot of good fortune drafting OL in the first (Guyton notwithstanding), so they could want to take a shot at getting another All-Pro type there. Banks likely would be the only one of those three OL available at 12, but he's another one who falls within that same tier as McMillan and Golden.

That's really the only way that Walker makes great sense, if we were going to use more 3-4. Eberflus is not a 3-4 guy though.

This is where I'm at with him. Good football player, but not a top 10 guy at all.

Walker does nothing for me as a top 20 prospect.

Bad in coverage, mediocre off the ball as a run defender and too small to be a full time Edge.

I think his best role in the NFL is a DPR which at 12 is insane to me.

He has long arms doesnt he?

I believe so if memory serves
