Dude I was high on him prior to this video and u did a great illustration of correcting some of the crap out there .People see these reps and think the wrong thing if someone spread misinformation .It matters to emphasize what the play is about .U see it with this kid that he knows he’s winning the rep even when the ball carrier isn’t touched .He turns around and confidentially jogs back to his stance cause he knows what the coaches are looking for when it comes to his position
So was Walter Nolen before he was injured(hopefully not serious). The difference between the two is Nolen was unblockable all season too while Walker disappeared all season.
Glad you explained that clip of him getting stood up because I criticized him based on that ! But now I seen more of practice film on this kid .He looks good ! I hope he can be a Raider 😎
This guy and Nick Emmanwori are the top players I'd love to see in Seattle next season. Emmanwori playing big nickel with this guy eating up space in the middle will generate a ton of 3rd and long plays. Great content as always.
Jalen Milroe and Micah Bernard would be cool too.. but gotta build Oline before anything. Definitely need an elite young safety and DT, i think our Edges are fine with Mafe and Hall but we could add one more for cheaper
Hawks will likely sign a good, veteran NT for cheap. There will be too many unsigned free agent DT veterans this year, and there are a lot of decent 1st-2nd round DTs. They might be able to get Banks OT with their first pick and Jihad Campbell/Emmanwori/or an Edge with their 2nd pick.
Plays very high. His Kentucky tape is full of plays getting washed out in the run game. Extremely athletic but not nearly as physical as he should be for his size.
Gotta have some context. He’s an emotional player - the team had major issues and it impacted his play / focus perhaps he had an injury, it’s not clear what but it was said to have lingered throughout this recent season Additionally he played to many snaps and carries allot of top heavy weight which must have tired his legs out which are not naturally thick compared to the portions of his upper body As for his issue of playing tall, he’s certainly known this criticism about his game tape and has been working allot on correcting it .. I think loosing some of the top weight has helped
@ so you are defending him by saying he’s overweight, didn’t feel like playing hard, and has lingering injury issues? With friends like you, who needs enemies? Haha
@ it’s not a defence and I do think they are reasons not to draft him in the first round despite having 1st round potential I watched most of the Kentucky games, it was like watching nails on a chalkboard, Walker was a saving grace by contrast .. he has traits you don’t see anywhere else
@@carpe164 like with any player ‘team fit’ ought to be considered a priority when drafting a player .. Walker in particular would benefit from working alongside Crosby and Wilkins Not everyone develops at the same rate.. that’s why I think emphasizing a players age is kind of irrelevant.. big nba players usually take many years to develop there body into being a well oiled machine- Walker in my eyes has the highest ceiling potential of anyone in the draft if he can put it all together
Eh I could see that but personally I think he would be most maximized slimming up and playing with more space and time on average by staying at 3 tech and out to the edge as a defensive lineman. Lose the fat he has and be maybe 310-20 with that length and those movement skills. Could see that help his consistency and you could think of that is him playing like Arik Armstead role. Hes not Dexter Lawrence, not even close; Chris Jones is closer but thats the high end of ehat he could be and hes still different in being a bit taller and more narrow upper frame.
I loved him going in, then I started watching how high he plays and I no longer see him as a 2nd rounder. It's funny that we see opposite things in the tape.
Walker looks like he has plus strength, but also looks like Frankenstein's monster trying to run. His balance seems a little clumsy. A great way to test this is to have a G lineup in front of him and tell Walker to smash that G. Then when the ball is snapped, the G just steps to the side. Watch if Walker can stay on feet or does a face plant into the grass.
We definitely could use him in Washington. We lack the girth he brings up front. I hope either him, Josh Simmons, or Kenneth Grant is available at our 29th pick.
Whole tape is pretty underwhelming considering his physical stats and who he went against on these reps. Day 2-3 guy for me. He basically stands up immediately on every rep, could see him get absolutely washed in the run game in the NFL
Why the RB ran right by no disengage from block but would be a great situational rusher vs the tush push or on offense as part of a tush push otherwise very very raw
Now I see these kinds of tape angles I can see exactly why he underperforms. A) he doesn’t keep a wide base out of his stance. His first step his feet come together and that is what is making his pad level so high. B) he is striking with wide hands he is always losing inside hands in these reps. If he can be more decisive in attacking half the man or getting inside hands when he gets in on the chest it’ll be a lot better for him C) he is stepping with the wrong foot in his first step. He steps with his front most foot a lot and that loses a lot of power with your first step and not getting as much penetration with your first step as well.
Buck, Hutchinson, and Calais Campbell are at least 6'7. That is an inch taller than a ton of Dts and edge players. If you're really good you can make it work. Raekwon just never lived up to his potential.
The rep against Lampkin is NOT the only time he was stonewalled. He can flash, but he's far too inconsistent. He'll be drafted high enough due to his flashes and traits though.
Think about it you heard this stuff from the Georgia guy eagles game and he is going to the super bowl. I will take him in the first round and move back in the first round and select him
There is a segment in this video 8:50 where I speak about that play. If a creator or someone else said he got "stalemented" on that play, you need to watch a different creator.
@@Tone22845 Maybe... he plays real high though. Grown men will maul him on the inside, where his height is a disadvatage. On the edge, he can use his tremendous length to abuse short armed tackles & ruin passing lanesw & outside runs.
@@Randall_Kildare if he plays as a 3-4 defensive end which is basically a DT in a 4-3 defense it better be a 1gap scheme that not asking him to be responsible for 2 gaps
he’s big, but Texas rag-dolled Kentucky the whole game this year like they were a paper towel roll in a pit bulls mouth. It was ugly. Kentucky and Miss State are several levels down in cfb from the rest of the SEC, that’s what i saw when my team played and destroyed both these teams this year.
Does not have the potential to be a top15 pick. His one on one drills at the senior bowl revealed what his college film already has, he doesn't play low enough to leverage his weight. When he plays he's too high and his lack of lower body drive strength is an issue, look at his calves. 3rd round grade imho.
This is the problem with basing an evaluation simply off Two days of practice in a controlled environment. Walker game tape this year is horrible, he consistently gets stood up and doesnt play to his size , has no pass rush skill set, struggles with pad level (stands straight up) and his buzz is based of his 2023 tape which is great. He has alot of potential but is VERY inconsistent given his size .

Plays very high. His Kentucky tape is full of plays getting washed out in the run game. Extremely athletic but not nearly as physical as he should be for his size.
My thoughts exactly. I think his comp is Jordan Phillips. Big, rotational, pass rushing IDL.

He reminds me a little of Tyson Jackson, who always seemed more interested in beating the man in front of him than in where the ball was.
Could have made more if he played LT. Perfect size for that.

I haven’t heard this name since before this season. Time to watch every rep I can find on TH-cam lol.
Steelers please he stands straight up to slap the ball down i love it give me two more
This is what Chicago needs
Definitely, Bears need to get bigger in the trenches. Getting pushed around to easily up front on the D-line.
I loved him going in, then I started watching how high he plays and I no longer see him as a 2nd rounder. It's funny that we see opposite things in the tape.
Deone is a big dope.
He was a top 15 pick half the season. If he gets in the nfl weight room. Crazy potential. JMO 😂❤🎉❤😂🎉🎉😂❤
He is only 20 too
The new Albert Haynesworth
Seems like Walker worked his way into the top 7 picks!
Walker looks like he has plus strength, but also looks like Frankenstein's monster trying to run. His balance seems a little clumsy. A great way to test this is to have a G lineup in front of him and tell Walker to smash that G. Then when the ball is snapped, the G just steps to the side.

Sounds like a decent Bengals prospect for pick 17.
At 17? Please tell me ur trolling
Dont be surprised if the jags take this guy because the coach used to be a Kentucky coach
We definitely could use him in Washington. We lack the girth he brings up front. I hope either him, Josh Simmons, or Kenneth Grant is available at our 29th pick.
13:50 - What the heck happened with that play? It seemed like they just stopped playing in the middle of the snap.
I think the RB went the wrong way
Whole tape is pretty underwhelming considering his physical stats and who he went against on these reps.
Day 2-3 guy for me. He basically stands up immediately on every rep, could see him get absolutely washed in the run game in the NFL
I think the (2) run reps at 13:50 and 14:08 are more telling of the Tackles inability to hit a strong duo block than anything Walker did.
Walker had his hands in the centers facemask.
He'd be best on vikings imo
Why the RB ran right by no disengage from block but would be a great situational rusher vs the tush push or on offense as part of a tush push otherwise very very raw
Clay Webb would like a word.
Looks like he plays high with poor leverage. Maybe that can be improved with coaching, seems athletic for his size.
Heard this guy had a rough day 1
No he was very solid! He ended up leaving after 2 days because of the tape he put out
Straight to the Baltimore Ravens
1:19 if he could stay lower he’d create more havoc and take advantage of his length more. He gets a little washed out.
Now I see these kinds of tape angles I can see exactly why he underperforms. A) he doesn’t keep a wide base out of his stance. His first step his feet come together and that is what is making his pad level so high. B) he is striking with wide hands he is always losing inside hands in these reps. If he can be more decisive in attacking half the man or getting inside hands when he gets in on the chest it’ll be a lot better for him C) he is stepping with the wrong foot in his first step.

Tall players struggle to gain leverage. Raekwon Davis
Buck, Hutchinson, and Calais Campbell are at least 6'7. That is an inch taller than a ton of Dts and edge players. If you're really good you can make it work. Raekwon just never lived up to his potential.
Ravens need to draft him in the second round.
Good chance he's a Steeler based on the size profile alone. They're looking for that 3-4 DE, Tuitt type of size
I honestly just see a big body occupying space. NFL guards will wash him completely out of the play
Correct. He has absolutely no leverage playing so high.
The rep against Lampkin is NOT the only time he was stonewalled. He can flash, but he's far too inconsistent. He'll be drafted high enough due to his flashes and traits though.
vikings
Mason Graham breakdown when?
Soon
It’s good he can move his guy back but he needs to get off that block and make the play. Especially on that second play you showed.
Think about it you heard this stuff from the Georgia guy eagles game and he is going to the super bowl. I will take him in the first round and move back in the first round and select him
Calais campbell comp
Dude got stalemated all day on one on one with a 5 10” center yesterday, what are you seeing bruh
Yeah I was thinking this guy had to be clickbaiting because another content creator he was disappointing at the senior bowl
There is a segment in this video 8:50 where I speak about that play. If a creator or someone else said he got "stalemented" on that play, you need to watch a different creator.
@@SanjitT talking about individual one on one I watched it he was stalemated!!!!
@@ThUnDeRThUnDeR125 No he was not. He was not pass rushing on that play. That was a Run drill. He was "holding" his gap.
He was a non factor for Kentucky. Lazy and slow
Was the same during drills at the senior bowl
He’s more Chris Jones for me. Has all the athletic ability,just needs to be more consistent
Low man wins. That's tough to do at 6'7. He WILL get blocked in the NFL.
Somebody at the senior bowl said he just not that guy
I watched every single one of his reps from the team drills, trust me he is the guy
This is a big deal ☠️
Pretty sure I've said before: He's a 3-4 end who's 50lbs over weight.
day 2 pick, not a 1st rounder.
He's better off as a 4-3 1 gap DT who doesn't take on double teams
@@Tone22845 Maybe... he plays real high though. Grown men will maul him on the inside, where his height is a disadvatage. On the edge, he can use his tremendous length to abuse short armed tackles & ruin passing lanesw & outside runs.

Lions need to bring him home
Huge need for the Raiders because of Jenkins is old
Run stuffer not Jalen Carter in him! RN4L 🔥 ☠️ 🏈 🤬 🔥
I was hoping the Eagles get him in the second round. Go birds
3rd day pick of not 7 round
You're not hearing the hype because, people who are actually there reporting and watching every rep, said he's not looking too good.
I watched every single rep as well. I have the film.
he’s big, but Texas rag-dolled Kentucky the whole game this year like they were a paper towel roll in a pit bulls mouth. It was ugly.
Kentucky and Miss State are several levels down in cfb from the rest of the SEC, that’s what i saw when my team played and destroyed both these teams this year.
You showed a guy doing nothing to stop any plays. That's exactly the opposite of what a player wants on tape of.
He was slow and it was noticeable.
This guys is technique needs improvement big time
If he lowers his pad level instead of standing straight up 😢
He needs to play with more physicallity in his run stuffing game.
breakdown and terminology was not good. If you understand real DL play, you would explain these clips better
Da bears
Deone needs more technique and better conditioning.
With that belly roll? 17 games, maybe 18, against iron walls. Hmm. He will last 8 games.
Walker has potential, but if you look at his tape from the Tennessee game this year, he lacks drive and motor, lot of plays he didn’t give it his all
Not surprising when you look at his legs :D I mean some tall CB has legs as big as his...
You realize that Kentucky plays a 3 man front? That is going to make it VERY difficult to make plays.
@@SanjitTright….people don’t know ball
Does not have the potential to be a top15 pick. His one on one drills at the senior bowl revealed what his college film already has, he doesn't play low enough to leverage his weight. When he plays he's too high and his lack of lower body drive strength is an issue, look at his calves. 3rd round grade imho.
He plays way too high. Everyone actually at the senior bowl said he had a rough week
2nd play Walker using an illegal tactic - hands to the face to push back that center. It will be flagged in the NFL !
So it happens all the damn time.
@@RNL-kg1zb Still illegal - not a great play like this guy's narrative says it is.
sorry but only zeros wear #0's. hes undraftable for that reason alone
Tremendous athlete…plays too high…the same issue jadaveon clowney has.. until he improves, he’ll be in the game during passing situations
5-6 rd his game tape is not that impressive
He's got a sloppy body and plays high. His tape this season wasn't good.
Nope, not interested 😂
UNBLOCKABLE? You're either stupid, or clickbait. Which is it?
I see nothing special with this guy. Pass for me.
This is the problem with basing an evaluation simply off Two days of practice in a controlled environment.
Walker game tape this year is horrible, he consistently gets stood up and doesnt play to his size , has no pass rush skill set, struggles with pad level (stands straight up) and his buzz is based of his 2023 tape which is great.
He has alot of potential but is VERY inconsistent given his size .
This is why development is available in the NFL
Couldn't agree more. I am not high on Walker. As a 49ers fan, it is likely we'll take multiple defensive lineman. I hope he is not one of them.
Walker is a fringe 2nd rounder to me. Not just that he plays too high but feels like he takes a lot of plays off.
@@HuRam12345 yeah his conditioning is bad , i suspect
His 2023 tape was crazy…..especially the bowl game against Clemson
Plays way too high and doesn’t see the ball noway he top 15
You should not be breaking down tape.
Not high on Mason Graham as a prospect?!? 😮 😅 😂
😂
Who is your pet cat this season from the senior bowl? @The Football scout
I think he's a 3rd rounder
I take him
