Many of these guys have close ties to the team and ownership. They aren't gonna say anything to go against the team. They are homers. Many of these guys are the same people who were singing the praises of Hutchinson several weeks ago. Neither Hutchinson or Walker has changed as players in the last several weeks, but many of the Jacksonville media are now on the "Walker Train," because that's where the team looks like they are leaning. If the team was leaning toward Hutchinson, I guarantee they would be on the "Hutchinson Train."

If Walker  hits, and he is a home run… Baalke will get another job somewhere based off of it. Hutch would just be “well everyone would have took him #1”, and not have the same appeal. If Walker busts, regardless Baalke isn’t getting a job anywhere. I think this has everything to do with Baalke trying to show he is smarter than every other GM and an image changer.

Everything has the feel for that right now. Just a desperation move by Baalke.

This has everything to do with Baalke's hatred of Harbaugh. It looks like he might refuse to take one of Harbaugh's guys, based on his dislike. That's a shame.

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.

You're comparing switching between OLB and DE to switching from QB to WR? That's pretty silly.

But also, he had my boy Cross as the top tackle in the draft!

Different positions are different positions.
