Highest On vs. Consensus: Deone Walker, IDL (Kentucky) (+52)

You don't typically find 6'7, 340 lb interior defenders like Deone Walker often, and having scouted him back in late January, I came away impressed with the junior. Pad level is a concern given just how tall he is, in addition to his conditioning as an NFL player at his size, but he has multi-tech and multi-front upside in my book (0-Tech/and 3/4i-Tech) and can create havoc on the inside as a pass rusher. He might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'll gladly bank on Walker's traits and upside.

Lowest On vs. Consensus: Nick Emmanwori, SAF (South Carolina) (-19)

Despite this distinction, I do like Nick Emmanwori a lot and think he can become a good NFL safety. His tape left me a tad bit underwhelmed, and I think he has a way to go. What he's good at is this: He's a great athlete despite being a bit tight in the hips, has good production around the ball, and his ability to close ground on skill players was very good. I'd expect him to go a bit higher than where I have him ranked; this is mainly a situation where a solid group of second-round caliber guys push him down a bit.
