I'm taking the guy who has the higher floor (Hutchinson.) We cannot afford to miss on yet another first round pick.

Walker doesn't have a low floor lol.  He is one of the safest picks in the draft imo and was a beast this year.

Walker and Neal are very close 2nd for me but with Neal not working out the the combine I think is a little bit of a red flag

Not if you play him at OLB in a 3-4 scheme. That would be like a complete change of positions, since he played DE at Georgia. He could be great as a 3-4 OLB or he could be disastrous. Now, if he went to the Lions at #2 and played DE in their shifting 4-3 scheme, I believe he would be a pretty safe pick. Not if he was gonna go to a 3-4 defense and play OLB though, as we would use him. That would be a huge risk.
