He seems fatigued and doesn't always appear to give full effort. If a firm block is placed on him, he mostly loses those battles. Has sloppy plays due to fatigue, causing him to miss assignments. Not really a natural pass rusher, doesn't possess great hips and bend. Struggles a lot against the run. Not sure where he lines up. Some will see him as a defensive end, some a defensive tackle, and others a situational pass rusher.

There's a lot of question marks with him. Did he not give full effort because he's tired? Or is that just the kind of player he is? Or does he get tired a lot and that's not changing in the NFL? Can he actually stop the run consistently?

A top 5 pick, there's not questions like that. You don't question if they're tired or if they give full effort.

I personally don't question Walker's motor, as he played over 90% of FSU's defensive snaps.  When you play a guy that much in the trenches, they are going to take some plays off.  To me, the big concern is that he's not a top shelf athlete and is close to topped out, or a high floor/low ceiling prospect.  You generally want a guy with more upside in the first couple of rounds.  At best, I think he's another MJ, at worst, another Rucker/Gilberry.
