Walker only raced up the sportswriter's draft boards as they finally figured out how all the teams evaluated players. He was valued high from the beginning by the teams.

In 2014, Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack raced up draft boards after their combines/pro days. 

Clowney was the consensus (like Hutchinson)

See how that worked out.

I thought wr Williams was worth a gamble but he only weighs 179lbs!!! Not wr1 weight.

Aiden maybe a better pass rusher, but he's made for a 43 scheme. And Davis struggles with his weight.

We got 1 of possible two freaks in this pitiful draft.

I think this draft is going to produce quite a few big time players to be honest with you. I think the only reason it's looked down upon by causuals is the fact that there wasn't a clear cut #1, nor any Qbs worth a damn.
