Jalon Walker

[RS12]

FYI Broaddus on with Cavanaugh today said Walker is a fall back option if the draft doesn't fall their way FWIW.

 

[Dalmations202]

I think JWalker could be a very interesting pick, depending on how they use him, and what they see as his strengths

 

[Risen Star]

Cant build a team taking LBs that high because you gotta pay them in a few years and they will want top dollar

Thanks for the input, Stephen.

All these guys that have been mentioned could be Cowboys. The front office is trying to get a lower slot and an extra pick. I believe they are praying all four of the top receiver prospects will be available at 12 so they can trade far down.

 

[reddyuta]

big yes for me but he won't be there at 12.

 

[Croomraider]

If he is there at 12, Jeanty is gone, Graham is gone. Do we dear take him? He had a good game vs Texas LT and was a wrecking crew vs Texas.

He is one of the blue chip players in the draft.

I'm a big Jalon Walker fan, gotta take him if he's there. I think he goes top 10 but someones gonna fall. They can move him around and it would be an instant upgrade for our D.

I think another D guy in the mix would be Will Johnson, instant upgrade to our secondary. Someone's always hurt anyway. Bland would move inside. I like Carson still. This secondary could be insane.

If we trade down for D, I like Jihaad Campbell, gotta upgrade Sanborn at MLB.
I like Barron and Starks and that's about it for what I would be happy with on D day 1.

If you build a team with a fear of guys who will want top dollar, you are building a 5 win team

The problem is taking a non premium position like off ball LB with a premium pick and then having to pay them like a DE

 

[Mr_437]

If Jalon is there, I'd like to use him as trade down bait, but if Dallas took I wouldn't be mad at that either. Walker, Osa, Micah, and Fowler in the Nascar package would be crazy. Eberflus and company was at Georgia pro day, so they would have a plan for Jalon.

 

[reddyuta]

Mcshay thinks both Walker and Williams will go top 10 .

 

[cnuball21]

Yes, you take Walker without thinking about it. A lot of people parroting the “instincts” talk…I’d love to see some receipts or references of specific games at least. Other than just 1 line in a scouting report you glanced over.
He’s a freak show of an athlete, was the alpha male of the Georgia D, and is by all accounts a high charter kid all around. Yeah I’ll take my chances

His passer rating against in coverage was like 120 and his PFF run D grade was well below average.

 

[J-man]

If he makes it to 12, which I doubt, I think he will be their pick.
Pairing him and Parsons together for the next 5+ years would give them a dynamic duo of pass rushers. If Sam Williams and Overshown can return to 100% pre-injury and can stay healthy, they will have a bounty of these hybrid DE pass rushing LB's types to rotate in all game long.

 

[J-man]

IMO, they'd have never signed Osa if they had any intention of running the 3-4.

Yeah we don't really have the DE's for a 3/4, they're all a bit light in the pants. Nor could Mazi be the center of a smaller front. Teams would just line up and shove it down our throats.

 

[Creeper]

I used to be much higher on Walker. I've heard all the negative stuff about him, but in college he looked like player to me.

I am just not sure he is what Dallas needs I'd prefer to get an edge guy that will reliably get containment on those outside runs that kill Dallas.

 

[jblaze2004]

If we draft him, what position does he play? He can get to the QB. I know on passing downs him and parsons rushing opposite sides of each other would be a dream. But what about in the base defense? Are we sticking with the 4-3?

This is the problem…

On base downs he’s not good off the ball and he’s too small to be effective against the run.

His best bet is a DPR.

I am pretty comfortable saying the Cowboys like Williams over Walker. I don’t see where Walker would play, he is smaller then Micah.
