We do need pass rush.  I'm not opposed to a more athletic linebacker.  One person's scout on him....


Jalon Walker projects best into a multiple-front scheme that tasks their linebackers with a vast menu of responsibilities. This is a three-down player with unique value on early downs as a stack defender and on passing downs as a pass rush weapon — similar to the likes of Zach Baun and Andrew Van Ginkel. 
This is not the kind of player that would fit well in vanilla schemes or in a singular role, so creative play callers or defensive depth charts with a number of versatile defensive talents to create overlap and confusion will go a long way in unlocking the best version of him.
