Draft Profile: Bio
Bram Walden from Saguaro High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Walden opted to join Oregon.In 2022 as a freshman Walden saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 8 snaps for the Ducks. He allowed no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.
After the season Walden transferred to Arizona State where as a sophomore for the Sun Devils in 2023 Walden he played in 6 games and a total of 383 snaps. He conceded 4 QB hurries, one QB hit, and one sack while playing at left tackle.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows excellent awareness against twists and stunts, and Walden has the strong, flexible core and wide base to catch and handle moving defenders.
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
- Walden will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where he could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
- Takes much more pride in the run game, where he plays through the whistle with tremendous physicality.
- Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers.
- Good natural athleticism, knee bend and fluid lateral movement to mirror college defensive ends.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
- As a pass protector, Walden gets caught reaching and lunging when matched up against quickness.
- Had issues against quality counter moves, struggling to readjust. That’s something he’ll see frequently against NFL technicians in the pass rush.
