Great news.
Angelo is pushing all the right buttons this Summer.

nice move. fifth rounder, cheap. Good production. Fits our system.

Great move for a second-day pick. Hopefully he won't want more than 4 mill., cause that seems to be the highest I would go if I were Angelo.

Really huge, a steal, if it's for a 5th rounder. Angelo knows the time is now! Walker is definitely an upgrade!

I think if you take out age, walker > tank. This was an upgrade, and only cost us a 5th round pick and some cash for his contract. Nice.

There are like 4 Celtic fans on here.
I didn't know we had a huge fanbase in Boston.

I watched Walker alot (Live in Philly). High motor guy. Professional. Can sometimes disappear and then dominate for most of a game. A great depth pickup

Darwin Walker is listed as a 73 on Scouts Inc. While Tank is a 67. thats a significant upgrade if you follow their rankings - for perspective - T. Harris is a 74 (which I think is waaaay low)

great Job Angelo. He's in it to win it this year. The D Line is stacked!

Pretty nice move actually. I've seen him play a ton, being in the Philly area. He's on the downward part of his career, but he was had for low dough. He's a mature player too with some leadership qualities, which will fit into Lovie's system, and stay out of trouble (unlike Tank).

Those are at least one season old.

I wish they'd update them actually because they can be fun to read.

Either way this is a good pickup. You can never have enough depth in the NFL.
