[mikemac2001]

Any RAS on him? 
 

Any blocked kicks?

I pretty much listen to Marino only, and he hated this guy lol

He also hated Josh Allen in 2018…

Not a fan but their sticking with the theme of this draft. Getting bigger and more athletic on defense. Walker is an athlete for his size so I'm taking it that they think he's a big ball of clay that can develop in their system.

Do we have the tallest DL in history?  lol

 

I wanted WR Donte Thornton badly who went 1 pick before, but Deone Walker was high on my list of guys I wanted today too.  

 

I have been pounding the drum to rebuild the DL for so long, so I am loving we are trying to do just that.  There are going to be a lot tall arms on our DL disrupting passing lanes as well.

Is this one fat enough for all of you or do we need to go 4bills with the next one?

I wanted that 464 pound guy, but there is still time.

Doesn't get great leverage being as tall as he is aaaaand Joe Morino doesn't like him. 

For what it's worth, Marino isn't infallible, he really didn't like Terrell Bernard either.

Not saying he's wrong or right, just that everyone has misses.

Love it!! Immense upside and had a broken back this year caused him to fall

 

In round 2 ? Nah

 

But round 4? Yuuuuppp sign me up

Weird how so many people hate him! He seems perfect. What’s the knock?

Joe Marino hates him. 
 

I like Marino, but that’s a lot of it. 
 

Huge ceiling, but played with a back issue last year and his play dipped. 
 

Was considered an easy Day 2 pick before the injury. 

[T.E.]

No offense...yet again. How many DLs do you need, exactly?

There's your 1T.  Everyone can rest easy now.

 

Interesting to me that they took him over Farmer, considering the visits they had with Farmer.  Also, surprised they felt they needed to trade up for him, since the ratings I saw for Walker had him going lower.  ESPN has Walker 10 rating points less than Farmer, for whatever that is worth.  

I've said it before I'll say it again ......... he's a 1 tech like Jordan Phillips (who played for us) is a 1 tech.

Just turned 21 in March.  
 

Loving the new defense!!!

Plays pretty darn upright and stiff. Hopefully coaching gets him going. He certainly has the beef.

Yeah. I really like Joe. But he doesn't know how it'll turn out.

It’s crazy how much the espn projections hated Thornton haha I’m still so confused by that.  They had him as the 237th ranked player 😂

I seriously did want him as a round 7 or UDFA lottery ticket. The dude is a unicorn to even play college ball at that size.

FG blocking potential too

 

25" vertical so maybe not as much as you think...
