I know we all talked about this during the draft but the reality is there wasn't an elite player worthy of the #1 overall pick. Whether we took Walker or Hutchinson, the expectations of being #1 were probably going to be too high. Based on reports and things I've heard it sounds like Walker is going to walk into the NFL already as a good run defender. Will he develop into a big sack guy? Who knows. It doesnt seem like he is going to be a guy you expect to get double digit sacks every year. And definitely not as a rookie. I've read a few people talk about how he will be a great run defender who clogs up the line allowing others to make plays. You don't typically draft a guy #1 overall to be that. I've also read others who hope if nothing else he can be disruptive and get pressure even if not many sacks. I think those go hand in hand. Get enough pressures you'll get sacks.

As far as a number, it'd be disappointing if he was anything less than 3 or 4. Realistic but hopeful he is a beast against the run, great hustle, great rotation guy, versatile in where he could line up, and he gets us 5-6 sacks. Pie in the sky they hit a home run and he is a guy who is a threat to get double digit sacks a year.
