The 2022 NFL draft is two weeks away, and there still isn’t clarity on what the Jacksonville Jaguars will do with the first overall pick. They could draft Michigan defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson or Georgia’s Travon Walker. The former Bulldog’s name has picked up steam over the last month. Jaguars Wire wanted to put out a poll to gauge how the fanbase would feel about that selection.
NFL Network’s Peter Schrager reported that other franchises around the league think Jacksonville will take Walker based on general manager Trent Baalke’s history with the San Francisco 49ers. With San Francisco, Baalke opted to draft the player with the best physical traits and potential over the player with the best statistics in college.
Walker fits that bill because he stands at 6-foot-5, 272 pounds, and was clocked at a 4.51 when he ran the 40-yard dash and a 6.89 in the three-cone drill, which was better than every receiver aside from Calvin Austin (6.65) and Kevin Austin (6.71).
