Rasheed Walker should be talked about more. 

What exactly do we have here? A high end athlete who's finally getting it? A mediocre athlete playing plus technique? I could look some of this up, but I'd rather get a couple sentence summary from people who know OL more than me.

Some people* have been talking about him for a while!

*One person, really.** 

**It was me.

I'm just thinking more in terms of what Walker is good at, and working from the premise that he's already great vs speed rushers, average vs bull rushers, and not a good run blocker.  That makes me think elite pass protector who's marginal in the run game is a realistic outcome for Walker.  That's how I remember Clifton.

Okay, I get it.

But I remember Clifton differently.  Like he was solid in day one against speed and bull rushers.  I know that coming out, some said he was a guard because of his base and power.  Feet were a little lacking.

Clearly that wasn't the case.  Those feet were just fine at LT and the power was already there.

But, I'll admit to being quite young then (Cliffy) and I may not remember him correctly.  Though I still recall reading a draft write up prior to us taking Clifton and projecting him inside as a guard.  That was from the Journal Sentinel.  Funny how you remember certain things.

Which reminds me....I need to run out at lunch and get an anniversary card.  :)

I gotta say that game warmed me up a bit on Corum. Assuming he's a mid 2 or later anyway. I don't really see a RB this year worth anything higher.

Back half of RD3 is where I'd be looking at what's left of the RB group.

Ideally I'd agree but if they have reasons to like a guy with #64 (their second round pick obviously) I wouldn't argue.

Overall I am very much in the mood for a trade up more than a trade down, but looking at the flipside, who will be the QBs available in a trade down situation? QBs tend to be the biggest trade galvanizers.   I think there is a possibility both JJ (Raiders) and Penix (Seahawks) could be gone by the time we pick.  Thereby eliminating most of the teams that would trade up for a QB desperately.  Who would be next on the board?  Bo Nix?  Yeah........it just seems like a trade up year through and through.

I haven't watched much of anything this year, but saw him live for a little bit and a few clips and his vision caught my attention. Is he known for good vision?
