At least Henry and Taylor won’t run for 200 yards on us.

That's the idea.

Campbell said he wanted our defensive identity would be tough against the run.

With the improved athleticism and instincts Lloyd, Oluakon and Muma provides and the size and raw physical traits Walker provides, I think we'll be stronger against the run.

If he was BAP then you take him, you shouldn’t be reaching for a TE/WR if the value isn’t there. The LB unit is astronomically better than what we’ve had for years.

The pick also adds more options for Lloyd as how we can use him. Plus Muma is used to leading defences and great at special teams.

It’s a tremendous pick as far as I’m concerned.

Luxury pick?  No.  Even though you could certainly argue offense was a bigger need, it's not as if there was no need for Muma.

We're in a 3-4.  We need lots of LBs, especially since we got rid of Jack and WIlson.  Aside from that, FO is just 215 lbs.  It's asking a lot for him to be a 3-4 ILB and hold up at that size.
