Where is Miami Hurricanes RB Mark Walton Projected in NFL Draft?

NFL.Com’s provided an overview of Walton’s game and draft outlook.

"“Walton is a fluid combo back with the ability to compete for committee carries and third down snaps. His 2016 tape gives a better indication of his quickness since he was nursing an ankle injury for much of the time he played this year. His indecisiveness as an interior runner should be taken into account when offensive coordinators decide to use him. Walton has the ability to become a solid backup who can handle a heavier touch load over smaller stretches if needed. Sources Tell Us “I think he’s going to fall but only because he’s coming out in a season where there are so many backs. That position will be devalued and you might be able to grab him later than you might expect for a player who can help you on all three downs.” — AFC team scouting director”"

Walton will become the first Hurricanes halfback to be drafted since Duke Johnson in 2015. Johnson was a third-round pick, the 77th overall selection by the Cleveland Browns in 2015. The Hurricanes all-time leading rusher has become far more of a receiver in the NFL.

If Walton lands in the right situation like Tampa Bay he can become an impact player quickly. He showed during the 2016 season and the beginning of last year that he has the skills necessary to become a consistent NFL starter.
