Its debatable with whats on the current roster but in hindsight was there an option better at that point then whats currently on the roster already. The pick has grown on me now and I see a very explosive player who can help this offense injuries or not. The guy just wasn't a player on alot of people's radar. Me included

Why was drafting Walton a head scratcher?

A 4th Round offensive lineman likely won't play for 3 years if ever. Plus, 10 lineman make a roster. How many do we have right now? With the run on lineman, you might be taking the 60th ranked lineman.

Now, with Walton, you get the 7th or 8th ranked RB. Plus, you need 2 RBs in the NFL. If Bernard or Mixon get injured, Walton can play.

And Walton is a good special teams player which you need. So from Year 1 you'll get contribution from him.

His upside is high. Had he not had a severe ankle injury, he likely was a 2nd Round pick. Guy could eventually start one day too if Mixon for some reason doesn't produce.
