00:00The selection, defensive lineman out of Ole Miss, Walter Nolan, goes 16th to the Arizona Cardinals.
00:07You know, when you look at Walter Nolan, started his career at Texas A&M,
00:11was a big, big splash in the transfer portal this previous offseason,
00:15four-lane Kiffin and the run Rebs, and left no doubt during his lone year in Oxford.
00:21This is a D-lineman you have been very, very high on.
00:24What do you think about his game translates best to the NFL?
00:27Yeah, I think the ability to get after it and shut down the run,
00:30and you talk about athleticism and just physicality, that's what he brings to the table.
00:35He's very strong.
00:36He's very athletic.
00:38Gets off in terms of his first foot and first step very, very fast,
00:42and beats opposing offensive linemen to the football,
00:46and that's what you want to see in terms of the interior.
00:48He can be a dominant pass rusher as well, and another guy that will force double teams.
00:53I think when you look at Ole Miss, they are not looked at as an elite defense because of Lane Kiffin.
00:59People forget they had the best rush defense in the SEC for much of the regular season.
01:03It wasn't Georgia.
01:04It wasn't South Carolina.
01:05It wasn't Tennessee or Alabama.
01:07It was Ole Miss.
01:08They allowed well under three yards per rush last year for a majority of the year,
01:12and part of it was because of Nolan's play.
01:15He's a dominant player.
01:16And, again, like Jared Verse, like some of the others that we've seen,
01:19a potential rookie in the making, Ricky All-Pro.
