Travon Walker is the best defensive lineman in this draft. Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, and Johnson are better pass rushers right now.
But what is he? Are you drafting him as an edge who doesn’t have the traits to be a great edge passrusher or as an interior player who you believe can add weight? I’ve always thought he was an interior guy/34 end all the way, but even then he needs work. His game was bully ball in college with his length and natural strength, but that doesn’t work in the league as your only weapon (as you saw when he went up against Evan Neal. It was technician vs a dude years away).
If we draft him over any of those other guys, it would be a mistake. And I like Walker, but there are certain situations that make way more sense than our own. The best comparison I can think of for him is a guy like Justin Tuck, but even he was an accomplished college passrusher before making his move to that hybrid, power and hustle inside/out role (and that adjustment took some time)
