The pool of candidates for the Detroit Lions to select from at the No. 2 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft could be a little deeper than previously expected. Coming out of the scouting combine, don’t be surprised if Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker starts appearing in some projections to Detroit.
Walker has generally been projected in the 10-20 overall range, but that information sure feels outdated. The draft media buzz has been steadily growing for Walker this entire draft season. Dane Brugler from The Athletic has been leading the growing charge praising Walker as a prospect with elite traits and high-end potential worthy of being selected in the top five overall.
Feedback from a couple of league guys on my high ranking of #Georgia DL Travon Walker (No. 6 overall in my top-100):
"You're going to look really smart on that call."
"Whoa! You like him better than us!"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
