2nd Round

2. player. 15. The other way a pass defense gets improved is via the rush from the front seven. Common wisdom says a team needs at least two quality rushers to have success. New Orleans hasn’t fulfilled that requirement for the past few years. Only Cameron Jordan has established himself as a quality QB hunter. Not since Junior Gallette was on the team did they have something cooking and it’s high time they found somebody who can help. <p>Often in these situations it’s best to find a good, old fashioned football player. He may not be high in flash but he makes up for it with substance. Demarcus Walker won’t win any athletic awards, but he’ll find a way into the opposing backfield and make quarterbacks uncomfortable. He’s been doing that with increasing regularity at Florida State. A gritty, tough and relentless hunter who doesn’t take plays off and leads by example.</p>. DE. Florida State. Demarcus Walker
