Downfield threat and a guy that can operate as an X, which is something we're sorely missing. Not sure he becomes anything more than a rotational guy if he can't clean up the routes and hands, but he'll make some plays in his opportunities.
Can Walker beat press? It's obvious if you play him soft, he'll kill you. But from a short look without watching old games I didn't see any highlight with him beating someone off the line. Also really needs to learn to be a hands catcher. Great value in the 4th, just need to actually develop him. Wish we still had dubb
He actually has very little experience playing football. If he's willing to work hard he might be a great player in 2 or 3 years.barely had to face any press because he was too fast for college CBs
generally he's got not much route running nuance or chops at all, that includes beating guys off the line vs press - that's why he's available on day 3
the hands was my big concern with him

It is true that his route running needs more refineman as it wasn't crisp in 2023. That being said he was better in 2022 with much crisper routes. Not sure what happened with the drop off. I agree it's too bad we don't have Dubb anymore, but I think if we use him at his strength he will be a good receiver for us.
Watch his tape when he was at Kent State in 2022. He looked like the best player on the field. They started off the season against Washington, Oklahoma and Georgia.
forgot we had Greg Lewis.i dont necessarily have a problem with his "crispness" per se - it's more that i dont see him running routes at all much - he's relied on just being faster than everyone else and hasnt got much in his toolkit right now as a route runner
it's possible that Dubb is a big loss - will have to hope Greg Lewis is the guy

Have you had a chance to watch his tape when he was at Kent State....particularly the games vs Washington, Oklahoma and Georgia. I'm wondering if we would have taken Franklin if he was available at our pick though. Depends on if these domestic violance accusations are real.
