Charlie Campbell (who has correctly predicted Panthers 1st round pick the past 6 years) final mock draft

[DaveThePanther2008]

The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is too undersized to be a base edge rusher in the NFL, so he will have to be a linebacker who rotates to rush off the edge in the subpackage.

I was watching Locked On Panthers yesterday and M. Kaye from the Charlotte Observer made some pretty good comments on why we shouldn't take Walker. 

1. Is he's undersized to be a full time Edge player. 

2. Rookies don't start for an Evero team

3. You don't take a tweener at 8.

If we take him I hope they define what his role will be. His situation reminds me so much of Jeremy Chinn. It's going to suck if we waste a pick on Walker when we could have had a true edge or DT plus an extra pick.

I don't get the tweener comment, not in today's NFL when Micah Parsons stars for the Cowboys. 

 

Walker is the same weight, 6-1/6-2 compared to Micah at 6-3, plus Walker has longer arms. 

 

Bunch of teams have him rated up where Parsons was pre draft.
