Walker: somewhat higher risk, higher upside. Selling pressure (days to the draft) is too much. A car salesman does that and you walk off the lot. But it doesn't mean you don't say "yeah oh I am very interested, I'm taking your card..."
Driver, less risk, less upside. He's on the wrong side of 30 and they competed directly for the Packers' number 1 spot.
The Pats need a guy who can get open and catch the ball, that's all - a working class guy, a "co #1" with Deion, which is to say, another very solid #2. They get that with Driver.... But the fact they are showing interest in Walker at all says something - which of course might be just to throw in the monkey wrench for Denver, Miami, Philly, et al.
As for the "fluke" Pats' picks who only got on the field "because of injury," I like that their guys are ready to do so. And having done so, a lot turn into starters.
Raise your hands if you think the Pats go injury-free this year.
Right.
