Fitzmaurice ranks Walker atop his RB tier, projects 20+ touches with KC, would draft him round 1-2.

Kenneth Walker IIIRB

Pat Fitzmaurice ranks Kenneth Walker at the top of the tier containing Saquon Barkley, Chase Brown, O'Marion Hampton, and Devon Achan, citing his 30 touches per game average during Seattle's three-game playoff run (161 scrimmage yards in the Super Bowl) and projecting 20+ touches per game with Kansas City after signing a big-money free-agent deal. Fitzmaurice would take him as early as the round one-round two turn, believing the Chiefs are highly incentivized to feed him touches given Patrick Mahomes' knee injury recovery and the lack of explosive plays from Kareem Hunt and Isaiah Pacheco. He notes Walker averaged 16.4 touches per game over four seasons in Seattle and projects closer to 20 or over 20 touches per game this year, running behind an arguably better offensive line than he had in Seattle.

Source transcript excerpt
I actually have Walker at the top of that tier... he was an absolute monster in the playoffs for Seattle. 30 touches a game he averaged in Seattle's three-game championship run... I think he's probably going to be closer to 20, if not over 20 a game this year with the Chiefs, as long as he can stay healthy.
