Much has been made as to who will replace DeMarcus Ware on the defensive line. The Broncos took the first step by drafting a DeMarcus. Walker is a gifted pass rusher that needs more grooming in his motor, but all things considered the Broncos drafted a potential Malik Jackson to their defense.
Walker comes into the NFL with Malik Jackson’s weight. Jackson weighed in at 284 pounds, while Walker tallies 280. An inconsistent is the common theme, but durability is a huge plus for the Broncos who ranked near the bottom in run defense in 2016.
Addressing the defensive line is a bigger need than pass rush; however, drafting Walker proves losing Jackson in free agency proved costly.
