2017 NFL Draft: Chicago Bears seven-round mock draft

There are slim pickings at defensive line after Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen and Solomon Thomas. Therefore, if the Bears don’t select one of them with the third pick, they cannot feel the pressure to pick someone just for the sake of picking him. Walker will be there in the fourth round, and while he isn’t on the level of the

Walker will be there in the fourth round, and while he isn’t on the level of the above-mentioned players, he is pretty good. In 2016, he recorded 68 tackles, 21.5 of them for losses (ranking him eighth) and 16 sacks, second in the nation. In fact, he has an amazing 25 sacks in the past two seasons.

Walker has a variety of moves in his repertoire to help him get n the backfield. He also doesn’t give up when his original path is blocked. He’ll move around quickly to find an opening. Even if he cannot find an opening, he eyes the quarterback and gets his hands up. He has eight career batted balls. Additionally, health isn’t a worry, as he played in 90 percent of the defensive snaps in his senior season.

A professional training regimen would do wonders for Walker. While he found the backfield many times, there were more opportunities he let slip by. Some say it was laziness or not having a high motor, but looking at the film it appeared that fatigue got the best of him at times. Some players show flashes but don’t actually realize their potential until they have that change in training. The level of training from college to the pros is like night and day. Once Walker gets in a program, I feel he’ll blossom and play even better as a professional.
