Walker is the prototypical new corner that the league is transitioning to. As the receivers around the league continue to bigger, so does the need for corners with more length, and at 6-foot-2, Walker is just that. Walker comes from a smaller school at Texas Southern, playing in 29 games over his final three seasons. He recorded 41 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and four passes broken up as a senior.
He was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, and didn’t blow scouts away with his 4.52 40 time.The obvious concern is his play has been against Southwestern Athletic Conference, not exactly the same level of competition he will see in the NFL. It is a solid pick for the Ravens because he is a project that does not need to get on the field right away.
This was the Ravens final pick in the fourth round, and their next pick is at No. 171. They own two fifth-round picks and a sixth-rounder as well.
