22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Ravens took Walker in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, adding a potential deep threat for QB Lamar Jackson. While a bit of a late bloomer, Walker had 921 receiving yards and 11 TDs in 2022 at Kent State, followed by 699 yards and seven TDs in just eight games for North Carolina last season. He then ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the Combine -- adding a 40.5-inch vertical and 131-inch broad jump -- though it wasn't quite enough for the thin wideout (6-1, 193) to earn a Day 2 selection. In Baltimore, the 23-year-old rookie could push Rashod Bateman for the No. 2 receiver job or Nelson Agholor for the No. 3 spot. Neither role is likely to entail a ton of targets if WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews stay relatively healthy, but Walker's combination of speed and leaping ability could make him important to the offense as a field stretcher.

The Ravens selected Walker in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 113th overall.
ANALYSIS
Walker led Kent State in receiving yards and touchdowns back in 2022 before transferring to North Carolina last season, but a delay in eligibility saw the soon-to-be 23-year-old play in only eight games with the Tar Heels. Walker still managed to find a way to lead the team in touchdown receptions and by all accounts seems to possess both the level-headed nature and frame (6-foot-2, 193 pounds) to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. The talented wideout didn't necessarily display the type of game speed that saw Walker register a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but his ability to threaten defenses in the second level will add another element to a Baltimore receiving corps that's brimming with young talent.

Could provide instant impact
WRBaltimore Ravens
May 25, 2024
In his analysis of late-round picks from the 2024 NFL Draft, Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic identifies Walker as a rookie who can make an instant impact for the Ravens in 2024.
ANALYSIS
After being projected as a second-round pick in multiple mocks, Walker fell to the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 113th overall. Baumgardner believes that Walker's 6-foot-1, 193-pound frame and 4.36 40-yard dash speed gives quarterback Lamar Jackson a big-play receiver who can adjust to off-target throws on the fly. In his final season at North Carolina, Walker recorded 41 catches for 699 yards and seven touchdowns.
