With the NFL Scouting Combine over, the rookie pecking order is beginning to take shape and settle as draft capital expectations are known. It is a waiting game for the NFL Draft to finally know the landing spots as well, but a pre-draft ranking that takes into account the process can help formulate rookie rankings after the draft.
The NCAA not allowing Walker to play the first four games of the season stunted his development and may have robbed us of another top-tier wide receiver prospect. Walker transferred to North Carolina from Kent State, but was ruled ineligible for much of the season. When he was able to play again, there was an instant connection with Drake Maye allowing Walker to excel from the slot. In only his second game for the team, Walker found the end zone three times against Miami. His speed and footwork are excellent, while the routes and hands are still a work in progress. After struggling at the Senior Bowl, he bounced back for a good Combine. He could be a target hog in an offense that wants to create quick slants off of the snap.
