Experts have recently analyzed the NFL draft, focusing on the Atlanta Falcons' selections. Specifically, ESPN analyst Matt Miller highlighted three out of five of the Falcons' picks as part of his top 100 list, emphasizing their overall value, scheme fit, and ability to address team needs. A key player is Walker, who was a top-five talent on many boards and fits Atlanta’s scheme well, noted for his speed and versatility playing both linebacker and edge. This draft performance signals a positive shift in the Falcons’ strategy, contrasting past criticisms.
Miller's excerpt: Walker was a top-five player on my board, and Atlanta ended his draft-night slide midway through the first round. Not only did the Falcons get great value, but they also got a player who fits perfectly for Atlanta's scheme and need. Walker's NFL position has yet to be determined, but he brings desperately needed speed and high upside as a pass rusher in a 3-4 alignment.
Honestly, couldn't have said it better myself. Walker is a highly versatile player, having success both as a linebacker and edge at Georgia.
