With the month of the 2022 NFL Draft officially arriving, the league, media, and fans will get a better sense of who each team might target in the upcoming draft. One name that has caught some steam as of late for the Jacksonville Jaguars is that of North Carolina State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu.
The Jaguars came away from last month in a weird scenario as they franchise-tagged long-term tackle, Cam Robinson. Before that designation, most assumed the Jags would target an offensive tackle with their first overall selection. Now, that assumption is much more up in the air as Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson has become the going favorite to be taken first overall.
One thing is known, however, Doug Pederson has quite the affinity for quality offensive line play, so don’t count out offensive line at No. 1 just yet. This class certainly has loads of tackle talent front-lined by Ekwonu, Alabama’s Evan Neal, and Mississippi State’s Charles Cross.
