AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 59, Adelaide
59. Adelaide - Taylor Walker (NSW scholarship player)
Medium Forward. 190cm, 82kg. North Broken Hill
Possible comparison: He leads out and marks the ball, then goes back and kicks it, so a bit like Scott Welsh. But Walker might become a more dangerous player as he seems to be able to also break tackles and win the ball at ground level too.
Why: The Crows can't kick goals, and that is what Walker can do. In the real draft, Walker may go at this pick or possibly the Crows' selection in the next round. Adelaide are very lucky to get Walker, and they have to thank their scouts for judging the NSW talent correctly, although it isn't that difficult as the best prospects from there at the moment have a last name that starts with W.
Selected at pick 59 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Jarryd Allen (St Kilda, tall forward/defender)
