1st: Walker is too good to pass up here. And I’m sure by the the time combine and pro days are up. Your going to be hearing his name as a top 10 lock. Walker is a hybrid LB/Edge guy. But we’ll just call him a defensive weapon. He is the ultimate chess piece for Evero in his front 7. And fills a role that Evero loves/vital part of his defense. We saw Frankie Luvu thrive and takeoff in this role which left a void when he went to Washington. Baron Browning played this spot in Denver as well.
2nd: Watts- our safety room some could argue was the worst in the entire NFL this year. And every single one of them are hitting FA this year. So I expect a full overhaul at a position Evero LOVES in his defense (plays a lot of 3-3-5 with 3 safeties). Watts is an extremely high IQ, overall well rounded Safety. And one of the best in coverage the past few years. Pairing him with a Holland in FA, and you’ll see this secondary do a 180 turn.
3rd: Jared Wilson- a name you aren’t hearing now but get familiar with him now. Wilson is the top Center in the draft class. An extremely athletic mauler. Who only started for 1 year at Georgia. He graded out as the top Center in CFB and is expected to really show off in workouts. He is graded around late 2nd early 3rd due to his lack of positional flexibility, many believe he will be strictly a Center at the next level. Wilson fills a giant need on this team no one is talking about. As we have no Centers under contract for next year. And have heard all the reports of how our FO values the importance of the OL in particular in the middle having the smaller QB (see the big Guard contracts last offseason). Another fun fact, like Walker, Wilson is a NC kid, growing up in Winston Salem.
