Exactly. Walker is a perfect fit for the Lions who are returning to a 4-3 scheme. Walker was a 3-4 DE. Trying to make him a 3-4 OLB is like teaching him an entirely new position. It would be a terrible move. Hutchinson is the best player in the draft and he has experience as a 4-3 DE and a 3-4 OLB, like where he would play with the Jaguars. I'm hoping these reports are just smokescreens and mis-directions that teams like to put out right before the draft.

How much benefit is there in misdirection when you have the #1 overall pick?  My hope is that the Jaguars are just doing their due diligence on Walker in case trade down opportunities are offered.

Yeah, the only misdirection that would help the Jags would be somehow convincing a team they have to trade up to No. 1 to get their guy -- maybe Carolina, Giants or Seattle wanting a QB.

Unfortunately, I don't think Baalke would have the gall to try it, I don't anyone in the league would believe Baalke if he tried to pull that off, and I have a decent feeling none of those teams will trade up at all. At best, maybe only 1 even drafts a QB.
