A little early to cast such a judgment but from what I've seen so far this year and last Sunday, but Travon Walker is looking like one of the biggest first overall draft pick busts in the last 30 years since JaMarcus Russel. Seems like he has only one gear and one direction to the quarterback with no creative moves with his feet or arms. Although we held the Ravens out of the end zone enough to win last week, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens were able to move the ball down with no problem. And Jared Goff looked every bit the number one pick he was under the pocket unfazed by the futile efforts of Walker getting to him on his blind side to the tune of scoring on every single one of his drives!
The guy that was picked after him in the draft, Detroit's Aiden Hutchinson, has way outperformed Walker defensively last Sunday, and all year. Walker's selection has GM's Trent Baalke's greasy fingerprints all over it: the shiny gifted but raw talent who may someday make some significant contributions defensively but so far all flash, little splash.
For a team that has shown much improvement and promise so far this year, it's so strange and maddening we would be struggling to get 6 measley wins this season.
