Walker moved to DT on passing downs to allow more pass rushers on the field, he does not have the size to play DT in the NFL, even just in pass rush packages.
Disclosure: I am a FSU fan and watched every game Walker played in. He is a high motor and hustle type of pass rusher, but not a natural elite guy like a Von Miller or Vic Beasley. Which probably explains why he isn't viewed as a top of the 1st round guy. I don't know if he can be a full time DE in the league, will probably fit better as back-up rotational guy.
Don't get me wrong, I'd take him in a heart beat, I just don't know if he could be the replacement for MJ or just replace Hunt.
