The thing I like most about Walker is his character--he is dripping with leadership and class. I used to sit in a coaches office when I taught at Walker's high school before Jalon was born---and talk to his dad and the other Catawba College coaches. They showed me film and talked x and o stuff. I barely remember it, but I liked Bennett, and when Coastal Carolina started their program, he took Jalon's dad with him. So I have many reasons to want Walker on the team and I know he has a football background better than most. I think Jalon's father returned to Salisbury to coach Catawba later, when Jalon was born. I have heard (from former colleagues) that he is a "great kid." That means a lot. Having said that, there is a concern that he could bust because he was not always working on his pass rushing moves, etc. Looking great in college is one thing; as I have said before, people playing 1 role all the time look great in college film, but half of the first rounders bust. So I have to think of his as a bit more raw than a guy who gets DE/edge reps 24-7. This does not mean he can't do it; it means I worry that he does not have the depth of training he needs to transition well to the NFL. He has to be developmental to a degree--so that is where I am coming from-your points are valid, based on selected known quantities, but we obviously are dealing with some unknown variables that should be considered objectively. That is where I am. -

I feel you... our scheme is safety specific but I only hate that Evero is involved. I don't mind the talent but Evero shouldn't have much say in the decision.
