[26TrapDraw]

a man that big shouldn’t be able to move that well. He will be as dominant as he wants to be

 Can’t remember the last time a Bills rookie hit the ground running like this. Tre White back in 2017?

Probably not since Landon jackson in 2025

We should just start trading our day 1-2 draft picks for proven talent and let Beane draft solely on day 3 at this point. 

Arguably it's the scouts' recommendations more than Beane that are responsible for the lower round successes.

He looks like he can be an impact player for us for a long time.  He has a unique skill set for his size which in turn allows him to do things many can't.

 

That said, he still has a long ways to go to be a complete player.  When you watch him on film, you see the highlights that everyone posts.  The big plays, tackles for loss, etc.  However, for each of those plays he makes, you can find just as many plays where he is getting washed out of the play because he tries to cheat a play.  He'll try to backdoor a play and chase it down.  But, he'll get caught and just pushed down the line or way out of his gap allowing for some of these explosive plays to happen.

 

That said, I think it is going to be easier to fix those run fits and fix his pad levels when he gets too high than it would be to get the explosive plays.  If he's a worker and wants to be dominant, he will be.  He shows flashes of potential greatness, but also of being young and making poor decisions at times.  Gotta find that balance.  But overall, there is a lot to be excited about.

And 2 of those plays were against the best RG in football (Lindstrom #63)

What's really refreshing about Walker is he's the first Bills rookie in seemingly forever where we aren't desperately searching for small flashes or telling ourselves to stay patient with his development. He showed up day one making splash plays and before the bye week already looks like a future cornerstone. When's the last time a Bills rookie did that? Tre White maybe?

Bills D Line I am very optimistic for.  They have consistently been getting pressure. Ed was playing great- got hurt.  Roos had a bone bruise, and played great against Atlanta.  3 of 4 1st half drives Atlanta scored TDs.  Bills D one first half stop- Roos made big stops on first, second, and third downs.  Ed and Roos are studs.

 

Bosa has had great rushes, and very close.  Hoecht has really impressed me when I watch his tape in preseason and with Rams.  Larry O is a big body that can help dictate the line of scrimmage.

 

We have depth with Sanders, AJ, and DaQuan.

 

Consider all this, and add in Deone, the Bills DLine is going to get much nastier!

I agree- our DL hasn’t been much of a problem and it should continue to improve.  Now we just need a DC, DBs and LBs that can cover and stop the run.

Right now.. but honestly maybe even better potential wise...  He looks like a big ole pooh bear now... I can only imagine if they work with him physically what he might become...   I am not comparing him to Bruce... but Bruce came in as a rookie did well then really got into professional football shape and obviously we know... I really feel like this kid looks as if he might benefit from a professional approach to his conditioning... turn from a big ole baby Huey to a big ole game plan around menace...

Walker is a monster, a bit of a unicorn with his size and agility.  If he can continue to take advantage of the guards and centers setting the line on run plays and use his lateral agility (which is other world) to shed and tackle, he will be a first and second down staple.

 

if he learns to shed and collapse the pocket through the middle?  He is an every down player.

 

at 21 years old?  This was a swing for the fences pick that has shown great return so far
