2022 Rookie Battles: B. Hall vs. K. Walker III

[FantasyFreak]

I just listened to Walker's combine interview. He is adamant, that it is KEN Walker. Seriously, so let's give this man some respect.

So we have to yell his first name?

[Pullo Vision]

A podcast/video I was listening to yesterday said that Hall leaves yards on the field. Referring to Graham Barfields "yards created"work, the speaker said Hall's athleticism doesn't line up with performance. I wasn't fully paying attention, but the speaker was saying Walker was the better pure runner and Hall's combine was artificially pushing his value up.

Could this draft be a reincarnation of 2014?

Not a fan of Barfield. There are subjective film guys who can say the exact opposite, too. Saw Waldman's breakdown of both, and he was saying Walker sometimes left yards on the field, and showed examples of it. Definitely examples Waldman presents of Hall's combine lining up on the field. Here are both, if you have the time.

Horrible landing spot for Walker. I can’t stand Pete Carroll.

[BabyChark23]

Horrible landing spot for Walker. I can’t stand Pete Carroll.

Could not disagree more. I love that spot for Walker.

[Ruggenater]

Horrible landing spot for Walker. I can’t stand Pete Carroll.

“Seahawks RB” is a productive role for fantasy though.

It was a good run to end the season, but farewell Rashaad Penny…

I think thats a great spot for Walker, and i hate Carroll and SEA lol. They have no QB, They are a run first team, and all they have in front of walker rn is an injury prone guy in Carson, and a first round pick that has busted in Penny

[StripesOfKC]

I'm here for Rashaad Penny doing a Carson/Penny on Kenneth Walker

[SteveMaddensShoes]

New series of prospect vs. prospect pre NFL draft. Which prospect is better and why? This should help us evaluate 2022 draft picks a little more accurately pre-NFL draft.

HERE WE GO!

Breece Hall
VS
Kenneth Walker III

I haven't even checked in on this thread. But why is McCafsteez making this thread? Shouldn't he know?

[Bronco Billy]

Walker is in a real plus/minus situation. He’s a talented high pick going to a run first team. SEA is going to do everything they can to run game clock this year and shorten the games. There are going to be a ton of rushing attempts in that backfield and Walker figures to eat.

The downside is that SEA’s passing attack is so pathetic that they figure to face 8 in the box on a majority downs until they are forced to throw the ball in an effort to play catch up later in games. Those QBs scare absolutely no Ds in the NFL and if they don’t make a move for Mayfield they figure to be in a head to head competition with ATL, CHI and HOU for the worst passing attack in the NFL. It’s going to be some seriously tough sledding to put up even mediocre ypa and the RBs there are in for a beating.

[Jfever]

Great fit for Walker.

[FantasyFreak]

Great fit for Walker.

Both these guys got great spots. Very happy with having 1.01 and 1.02 in a league right now.

Disagree with the last part, Im not gonna try to tell you that Lock is gonna break out or something. He stinks, thats clear. But he's not so inept that he cant get DK/Lockett the ball.

As long as the WR's are on the team, its gonna force teams to play more honest.

SEA should run the RPO every play with them both running go routes on the outside lol. If they cover the deep ball, let Walker eat all day, else just take shots at your deep threat WR's the whole game
