Heralded FCS edge rusher with jarring production in high-impact stat columns. Walker falls below height and length standards, but his game reminds me of 2024 draft pick Mohamed Kamara’s. He has explosive, freaky power in his lower half. He can leverage and anchor the point and create instant pocket consequences with his bull rush. He’s an instinctive rusher with an above-average attack portfolio but a lack of length will be an obstacle to overcome. He’s an average athlete in space but his movements near the line are controlled and fluid. Walker’s stature might hurt his draft standing for some teams, but it won’t be a dream-ender. He has rotational value as an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense.
Explosive back with run-and-catch potential but size that could knock him off some draft boards. Powell is twitched-up with the ability to hurt defenses with his elusiveness. However, he lacks efficiency as a decision-maker and is too easy to bring down with the ball in his hands. He will need to prove himself as a top-flight pass-catching option with gadget-run potential, but he’s a longshot to make a roster regardless.
