Kenneth Walker III - Great video profile

[sc85sis]

I think I just found my adopt a rookie.

 

[toffee]

we need to learn his name, this guy could be very good.

 

[Chawker]

I'm pulling for this kid ! Hall of fame here he comes.

 

[BASF]

Great find sis. There have been people panning this pick and holy crap, I don't get it. This young man is the real deal. If he applies himself to learn blitz pickup, we will be praising this pick for years to come as a total steal.

 

[Aircrew]

There are draft choices that sometimes just pop to me and give me an instant feeling that they're going to be special. RW was that pick 10 years ago. I get the same sense with KW3.

A lot of people wanted us to take Chubb, or Jonathan Taylor back in the day. Does Walker have the talent to be as good if not better than these guys? If so, it's a great pick. RB was a big need unless people think Penny could remain 100% and Dallas and Homer are feature backs in this league.

"Yeah but you could have gotten a RB in the 5th"

Not if you're trying to establish an identity here...

As a runner I think he’s like less powerful Frank Gore (for now) but with more consistent home-run speed.

I thought that as soon as I saw him run. Almost exactly same size as Gore coming out.

Hard not to be a fan. I hope he has a long and successful career.

Gore had a long, very long, and productive career. This is Gore:

• Second-team All-Pro (2006)
• 5× Pro Bowl (2006, 2009, 2011–2013)
• NFL 2010s All-Decade Team

It was a remarkable career after tearing his left ACL twice in college (when ACL's weren't quite as automatic). I didn't think he was going to last long at all.

Is anyone else concerned that they picked a runner named Walker?

 

[Nunya]

His running style reminds me of Barry Sanders

 

[sutz]

Most of the complaints are of the "don't pick an RB in Rds 1-4" or some such nonsense.

Hey, if the guy is there and the team likes him, and you think he might not be available later, you go for it.

 

[Seahawker]

After watching that video I'm pushing all my chips to the center of the table, betting on this kid being the real deal.
If Penny can stay healthy we will have a killer combo.

I was thinking Sanders also and mix in a little Ricky Williams.

 

[K.J WRIGHT]

Penny who ?

 

[WarHawks]

I'm incredibly impressed not just with Ken, but with his unbelievably supportive parents. He is where he is because of them. Man alive, that is how you raise a kid. Mad props.

I love this pick. Do people forget Sean Alexander & Marshawn Lynch the best RB’s Seattle has had this century we’re both 1st round picks. Walker was arguably the best RB in this draft. If we get another Franchise level RB in Walker then the pick is well worth it. I think 2nd round is perfectly fine to draft a RB.

 

[toffee]

I am hoping Waldron's zone blocking will mesh with Penny and Walker. With the running game going strong, Lock could do mostly play action and long bombs.

Dang I was just posting this. His stop in a dime and change directions is sanders
