Walter Nolen IDL Ole Miss

Feel like he needs his own thread.

6-3 1/4
296lbs
33" 5/8 arms (at SB)

he's a poster child for what they usually like at IDL. He's pretty explosive off the LOS. He's twitchy for his size and can get skinny (solid contact balance) with some violent hands. You can lineup him across the DL as well.

He was the No. 1 overall recruit nationally. Reporters of some character concerns, which could drop him.

Take him at 11 or trade back to the late teens and take him there?

In an ideal world move back for an extra day 2 pick and take him. Depends who's on the board I guess.

Do we have any actual details on the "character concerns" ?

Just like Jalen Carter, I am sure the Eagles and Chiefs spread some b******t rumors about character concerns so this guy can drop to them. Smart front offices.

So the person who died didn't die and it was all b******t?

Is it more coachability than criminality with him?

I mean it's nothing off field and it was never brought up until the combine. Weird

lately I keep reading that all these stories about his character are simply hot air,... the last one:

"People are throwing it out there that there are "character concerns," about Nolen, but nobody is saying what they are, so I will take that with a grain of salt.
The "reports" out there don't say what the concerns are or cite the sources. I don't know if there are legitimate character concerns or not about Nolen, but I feel like what's out there is more of a character assassination attempt because of the lack of proof."

and this seems to be accurate,... I have not read any report, article or writting specifying which are those "character concerns", usually they just talk about general "character concerns" and never cite the sources.

Anyway, niners interviewed him and I'm sure they were and are aware of the possible concerns and scrutinize them,... so, I'm back on Nolen's boat,... I left it assuming this year niners cannot fail the draft (especially the first round) and, hence, should avoid every possible red flag

but this seems to be all BS,... and Nolen is a f*cking beast,... it pops-up the moment you begin watching him play,... they have to land one of the Mason, Nolen, Harmon, Alexander group of 3-tech DTs,... they need to,... and Nolen is now possibly my fav,... again
