»» HIGH FLOOR, HIGH CEILING: At Georgia, Walker was used in a multitude of different ways at a variety of positions...in every game. His best spot with the highest upside is rushing the passer off the edge and he was utilized the least in that capacity. He has all the traits to be an elite EDGE and possibly one of the best defensive prospects in this draft class when all is said and done. Whoever drafts him need only commit to "letting him loose" and building upon what is already a solid foundation.
