1. Walker milestone, Georgia
Nate Tice: One of my favorite players in the draft. Walker plays both as a second ball and defender Edge on the melee line in the Rush plans of Georgia. He plays a little everywhere, so much so that he qualifies as “HLB”, which means “hybrid second”.
As an out -of -ball secondary, Walker is a strong platform and a good athlete that constantly diagnoses games quickly. He can run, continue and has no problem taking and losing offensive climbing lines, and athletics to be a more roofing player. It can be a little slow when it is necessary to turn and diagnose, something that would be cleaned over time.

Walker is also a talented and productive rusher of Pass, and shows his turn, strength and speed when he arrived after QB. Walker plays with his hair on fire and can hang as an out-of-ball secondary who can stay on the field for the three stockings and be a positive player against the race and pass, the capacity of Pass-Rush being a giant cherry on the top.
It will not be an ideal adjustment for each team, but I think Walker is just a guy I would like in my first seven. His competitive style of play is contagious and he has the ability to fill the score in the box in different ways, with leadership to start. He reminds me a lot of Clay Matthews.
Charles McDonald: Walker is not the most prototypical rusher of pass, but it can do damage in an aggressive role. He rushed and made a blitzant from all of Georgia's defense, but he did not necessarily play a traditional role which has a translation specific to the NFL.

When he played out of ball, he was mainly used as a spy or blitzer to mow the quarter-rear. He had many out -of -board representatives, where he still has work to do in the development of movements, but his speed, his physique and his efforts will play well in aggressive defensive patterns.
2. Jihad Campbell, Alabama
Charles McDonald: Comfortably the best real second in this class, Campbell helped a ton with a solid combination training to solidify its status as a first round. Trois-Down quality secondors are increasingly difficult to find, which could make Campbell a priority target at the start of the project. He precipitated the ferryman in Alabama, but his future of the NFL will be out of the ball.
Nate Tice: Campbell is a refreshing player to monitor: a defender with the combination of size, speed, violence and intelligence to really have the potential to play as seconds in the NFL.

Campbell is a large body (6 feet 3 inches, 235 pounds) which had an excellent day of tests in Indianapolis with 4.52 40 times. He also has the game band that reflects his size and his speed combination. Campbell is strong enough to face the climbing of offensive line editors and at the speed to run the touch line to Side. It is very fluid and sufficiently explosive to be a good coverage player, but can be a little incoherent in this area because of its development feeling always in development.
Campbell is also a disruptive pass rusher who can win against line editors (he has experience as advanced defender) and was a total gap against poor university RBS. There are still parts to clean, but Campbell has the potential to be a real impact defender in a position where he has become more and more difficult to find even starters halfway. It also makes sense in many different defenses.
3. Carson Schewinger, Ucla
Nate Tice: Schwesinger can absolutely fly. The UCLA would highlight its speed by making it run with WRS on the ground on its cover 2, which Schwesinger easily accomplished. He has a great conscience and recognition against the race and pass, often sleeping in the rear field or beating blockers with his speed and his ability to quickly diagnose games.

Schwesinger has just an adequate construction and his force shortcomings have often presented themselves when he had to face offensive lines. Sometimes it is completely wiped out of the game if it is unable to beat the balloon. He has the creation of a more roofing player who could sometimes be overwhelmed in the racing game, but you hope that he would create enough explosives to compensate for his lack of playing strength.
Charles McDonald: If Schewinger land with the right defensive line, it could be a splash playing machine at the next level. He has incredible instincts in the cover and speed to play games in space. It can be a little stuck in the box against attacking lines.
4. Bassal Jeffrey, Oregon
5. Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma
Nate Tice (from October): A secondary who really plays in the box! At least most of the time. Stutsman is invited to do a lot in the defense of Oklahoma, but he is, at the very least, solid in all these roles. As an out -of -ball player, he does a good job of diagnostic for racing games and staying disciplined, with an adequate play force to take blocks and conclude ball carriers. He is also a solid player in zone covers with enough athletics to hold in human situations.
