The difference is that we know for sure Walker is a freak athlete and an extremely large and very long person. Chaisson was very small, had trex arms, and then didn't do a single test pre draft. Everyone just assumes he's a raw athlete but he hasn't done anything on the field that looks like a freak athlete to me.

None of them have been better than average at best and the majority were closer to replacement level than league average. Boselli track record is highly suspect in this regard, despite his own personal talents.

I mean, it's kind of been a long time accepted belief that the greater you are on the field the worse you are at eval. Obviously there are John Lynch type of exceptions, but in general I think it's true.

If it had only been Bo I understand, but Leon has always called thing straight on our tackles. What I really want is for us to help Trevor and the other skilled players. Drafting an edge that can be neutralized by a quality lineman pretty easy is not going to help him. Our defect last year was not the defense. It was an offense that averaged 14 points per game.
