I have a day 1 grade on Walter Nolen. Everyone will talk about how explosive and twitchy he is but what's impressive is the power. He consistently puts guys on skates in run and pass defense. That speed to power base profile reminds me how we talked about Jared Verse last year. I expect Nolen to climb boards through the process especially after his performance Saturday.
