The one bullet Tepper did manage to dodge.

Eh, I get it but the difference with Walker is there is plenty of tape of him wrecking games off the edge. I don't ever recall seeing Isaiah Simmons do that at safety or linebacker in college. Personally, I never got the hype with Simmons. There aren't many examples of college hybrid linebacker/safeties going to the NFL and excelling as hybrid players, but there are a number of guys who have made the transition from LB to EDGE. Micah Parsons is the most obvious current day player, but Von Miller did this as well. Khalil Mack did to a lesser extent, too.

I agree as a LB, but he probably still goes top-half of round 1 as a pure EDGE.

I mean, the guy is an athletic freak. I'd prefer someone with better production, but I'd rather have Stewart than Mykel Williams.

Mykel Williams would surprise me, but Shemar Stewart would not at all.

There will be worse players to get the same or better money. The salary cap going so high basically guarantees this.

That's not a bad deal, TBH. That's roughly what I expected him to get. Granted, you're paying him to a large degree because you feel like he can still improve.

1-year, $15M or something

Tried something a little different this time... traded down almost out of the 1st round with Buffalo and again several times during the draft. Ended up with a ton of picks + Buffalo's 2nd rounder next year.

Send them one of our 4ths.

My masterpiece...

Would it? I'm not so sure. We need talent. BAD. Even if we absolutely NAIL this draft we'd still go into the season with a ton of major needs, and nailing the draft is FAR from certain.

CB will be in the conversation regardless if Will Johnson falls to #8.

Mason Graham is our best case realistic scenario, but I'm still iffy on Jalon Walker.
