Why can't he play OLB? He's obviously not built like your average one, but he is 100% athletic enough to do it and we have seen him do some crazy stuff in pass coverage and trailing as a run defender.

It's a whole different position with many different nuances, he has never seen or done. Remember when we tried to turn QB Matt Jones into a WR? That didn't work out so well. You don't draft guys #1 overall to teach them a completely new position. That's asinine. As far as being athletic, so was Mike Mamula. He blew everyone away at the Combine and was drafted way earlier than he should have been. That didn't work out either. If we do take Walker over Hutchinson, it's 100% due to one thing, Baalke's hatred of Harbaugh.
