Is it wrong that I don't want Walker because it would be boring? I know that's the wrong answer, but still.
I don't think that's necessarily the wrong answer. The Jets have drafted so many defensive linemen in the 1st round over the last 12 years that it's basically a meme on this board. Very few were billed as elite pass rushers, and none have been elite pass rushers. Walker seems to be more in that mold. If his pass rush doesn't improve, it is kind of a boring pick.
Walker looks like an elite run stopper with his measurables, film and skillset. The pass rush, particularly from the edge, is a work in progress. But with his length and athleticism and NFL coaching, maybe you can unlock more pass rush out of him. I am a little leery about taking an edge that high with his lack of pass rushing production and pass rushing tape, but if the Jets want to bet on that athleticism, I don't blame them. If he had the pass rushing production in addition to his measurables, we would never get him at 4.
The Brugler tweet reminded me of Sheldon Richardson tape when I first saw it. Not comparing them as players at all, but that was one thing that I loved when watching Sheldon videos at Missouri.
