I still hate the idea of taking a guy at the top of a tier and would rather wait and still get a really good LB at 65/70 (which they said many times too in the pod), but I'll admit Quay would be the perfect LB to fit next to Oluokun and would be a perfectly fine pick at 33.

I would much rather have Devin Lloyd, Troy Andersen, Chad Muma, Christian Harris and I would've had Damone Clark in front of Walker before he had spinal surgery. Quay Walker rarely ever drops into coverage. That job mainly went to Nakobe Dean who excelled at it. Unfortunately, Dean is too small imo, to play 3-4 ILB in the NFL. I see him as a 4-3 MLB or else he would be on my list ahead of Walker as well. All of the guys I have ahead of Walker are much more polished in coverage and that is what we need. We give up way too many yards to opposing TE's.
