I feel like he is the obvious choice, assuming Graham is gone. BPA at a huge position of need. I’ve thought this before all the press conferences. 

I don't necessarily agree on the "BPA" element but I would not be upset about drafting him at 8. I also wouldn't be jumping for joy.

I generally believe he will end up being a very poor fit with Evero's defense.

Going to be Emmanwori or Warren.

You keep saying that. What makes you so sure?

Assuming we draft Walker:

Salisbury/Athens Ga, Charlotte/Raleigh, Alpharetta, Georgia/Columbia, Mullins, South Carolina/Columbia

Our first rounders (except Bryce) have been within a 250 mile radius of Charlotte.  Heck, three of them grew up right off I-85. 

Maybe our leased cars for scouts have a low mileage limit.

Nah bro. Filling those seats with local families. Tep is playing 4D chess!

Thats how i take it. They already know everything. A pro day a week before the draft isn't changing much. 

Exactly.

Has she told us WHY she thinks this?  She may have, but I dont recall or didnt see it

I would like for her to react to Morgan's comments about drafting productive college players.  Does she she Mykel as "productive?"

At this point Jalon or Mykel it is what it is. No need to agonize over it so much nobody we pick at 8 is going to save the defense overnight anyway. All that matters is if this staff led by Evero can develop them. Very much remains to be seen and proven.

We need an impact LB/Edge my comparison would be a better tackling Hasson Reddick

I would be happy with either at this point.  Just praying Morgan doesnt take pennies on the dollar just to trade down on general principle

[CPF4LIFE]

From a talent perspective either one of them elevates defense because we are badly lacking on that side of the ball. How they will be used is the real question.
