player. 32. Pick Analysis. Georgia. Travon Walker. 23. Scouting Report. DE
23. Arizona Cardinals: Travon Walker, DE, Georgia
Another Georgia defender gets the call as the Arizona Cardinals bring in Travon Walker. He was listed as a defensive tackle but will likely play end for the Cards as his 6-foot-5, 275-pound frame is perfect for their three-man line.
He will not only give them a suitable starter which helps them tremendously but it’s also a great place for Walker to end up. With Arizona, he will be able to work alongside J.J. Watt who is one of the best 3-4 defensive ends in recent memory and can surely help Walker adapt to the NFL level.
24. Pick Analysis. EDGE. San Diego State. Cameron Thomas. player. 123. Scouting Report
24. Dallas Cowboys: Cameron Thomas, EDGE, San Diego State
It seems as though the Dallas Cowboys will have to address both the offensive and defensive line this offseason. They have a potential hole at left guard and center could use an upgrade. However, with Tyler Linderbaum off the board, it’s likely they wait on that side of the line.
Instead, they look at the defensive line as they could be in trouble there. Dallas could lose Randy Gregory and Dorance Armstrong in free agency and if they are able to retain Gregory, it won’t be cheap and could lead to them considering making a move with DeMarcus Lawrence.
Whichever way they go, Dallas will need another starter and that’s where Cameron Thomas comes in. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Thomas is a powerful player who improved every season and could be a steal at this point.
