Jaguars select versatile defender in Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft

Walker also displayed a good instinctual ability to read the pocket movements of a quarterback and adjust his pass rush to put himself in position for sacks.

As a run defender, Walker uses his good instincts and explosiveness coming downhill to blow up running plays. A reliable tackler, he can also be counted on to consistently bring down ball-carriers.

Defensive coordinators can also use him as a QB spy. His explosiveness and closing speed — along with how consistent of a tackler he is — make him well suited to execute those assignments at a high level.

Walker doesn’t have as much experience as a coverage defender as most off-ball linebackers do. However, he does have the tools to develop that area of his game as he possesses the closing speed, quickness and fluid movement ability to execute coverage assignments.

With newly hired defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile being a former linebackers coach, it’s a safe bet that he would be ecstatic to add someone like Walker.

Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham and Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan remain the most likely targets for Jacksonville at fifth overall.  However, Walker would also make for an exciting addition as he has the potential to develop into a disruptive force in the NFL.
