Did you check the stats?  That’s why I like James Pearce Jr. better.  Pearce has been more productive than Walker from an Edge standpoint and he has better size. 7.5 sacks in 13 games and 10 sacks last year compared to Walker having roughly 10 sacks in 2 years.  Elite burst and power off the edge. In my opinion he will be better than Burns because he closes the deal when he gets to the quarterback.

Now if you are talking about intangibles? Hands down Walker is better. Everyone gloats about his leadership. 

I don’t understand why Pearce gets such a bad rap unless I missed some of his off the field incidents. 

He jumped pretty badly and didn’t bench. Not a lot of evidence that there’s elite power to his game. Also seems like an “it’s always something” off-field guy, but nothing anybody would put their name behind or make specific.

Walker didnt play full time edge last year and he was a backup the season before

Good point and good problem to have. Hopefully they make the right choice. I am not a fan of smaller edge players but as I mentioned in the initial post he’s a playmaker.  I would not be mad, by any means with Walker. Pearce is probably just one of my 1st picks.

I’ve been wondering about those anonymous reports.  His 40 and bull rush on tape looked good, although bull rush can be more so attributed to leg strength.   Give me the trade down to the early teens and this becomes a better convo for all of us. It would definitely generate excitement with the early 2nd rounder.

Yea, among with Ward, Carter, and hunter as the top three locks.

I have been seeing the next player on many NFL lists is Jalon Walker. I was there until he measure 6'0 and you need to be Luke for 8th overall. He's a ILB to me.

Every time I do the draft simulator the TE Warren is the BPA. Everyone you guys have been talking about for the past 3 months are all taken before our pick on there.

We’re probably going to end up with Mykel

Try a different sim broski....

The top three are set- ward, hunter, and Carter.

Draft starts at 4, Ive heard vrabel is calling the shots for the pats. I don't think he has ever had the full juice, so nothing to go off. Guess- tough old school player. I feel it will be either DL or OL.

No one knows nothing about how the rest will fall or even the favorites. Players rated in the 40s on teams boards could be top 10 picks this year. 

Warren was a 3rd rounder in December. Just about every top 10 must have elite traits/measures. It's the reason why Sanders is falling, warren doesn't have Pitts profile. Plus teams just don't value the TE, I feel they are totally wrong and one of the biggest values in the league. I don't believe warren is top ten pick, even tho he was allllll of Penns offense.

I think its the main target no matter who is leftd.

Like if Carolina had the 4th overall pick, I think Mykel would still be pick

(Carter, ward, hunter already picked)

If Carter is gone, Graham will be there. Facts.

Jihaad Campbell. I think Dan Morgan would want a version of himself on the field, a center piece that can do it all, including going out on the edge and rush the passer. He'd solidify the middle for years to come. Also, according to PFF, he hit the same amount of sacks as Jalon Walker did in HALF the pass rush snaps. These kinda middle linebackers don't come around often, and with the depth of talent at the edge and dt, we can address those in the following rounds.
