No way we pick Jalon Walker if Mason Graham is still on the board

I would and I wouldn't think twice about it. Ones a really good player, the other has a ceiling of a generational prospect. 

 

Yes, Walker's ceiling is that high type but he's going to move around more while also playing ILB on first down, short yardage situations, and goal line. Think Micah Parsons "as that's who teams compare him to favorably"

No comment about two TE's in the top 10?  Seems absurd to me.  I guess anything's possible, but I don't see it.

Would I pick Loveland at 10? No. But I honestly don’t think it’s that insane. In this draft, there’s not much separating picks 4-30. All it takes is one team to fall in love with a player. Loveland is no slouch.

Some teams have Loveland rated higher than Warren. Fwiw I have them rated similar but Loveland slightly higher.

Jalon Walker is absolutely not ideal for ILB on first down or short yardage. Is it backwards day?

Nope that's where he would play. He's not going to spend 100% of his time at OLB rushing the passer if a team deploys him correctly. He's going to get moved around a lot and be on the field every down. 

 

Dude is 6-1, 250lbs with 32in arms. He can play everywhere.

Plan to get gashed if you have Walker playing inside on 1st. Play the tape. At best he can stand there and catch the RB when they get to him in the inside run game. If this guy plays inside It will be in obvious passing situations where he has use as a pass rusher or spy.
