The guy had a highlight tape of him making tackles in coverage. I doubt he ever becomes a player worthy of his draft position.

Picks like that are how the Jaguars could throw away Trevor's career.

It means you're taking a player that's more raw than someone else but has more physical talent. Sometimes it pans out. Sometimes it doesn't. I think it was risky to take the gamble that high but we've got to see it play out. He may ultimately end up being seen as overdrafted but no was does Walker play like Jane. Maybe Cheeta.

True, saying he plays like Jane is exaggerating. He doesn't justify his draft position with his play, but he seems like he could end up a guy like Alualu. Plays 10+ years as a contributor but never a pro bowl type.

He'd have been a fine third or fourth round pick, he's just going to always catch criticisms because of how stupid the Jaguars were to draft him where they did.
