The 2022 NFL Draft can’t get here any sooner, for us the fans, the prospects, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The speculation about the number one has come full circle. Once they secured the top pick, the favorites were edge rushers. Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux were at the top of mocks. Then, there was the realization that the Jaguars should probably protect Trevor Lawrence, and that’s when guys like Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu entered that conversation. In free agency, the Jaguars tagged Cam Robinson and signed Brandon Scherff. They also have Walker Little and Jawaan Taylor (even though he’s struggled). Then, it shifted back to edge rusher, and with the Thibodeaux concerns around the league, Hutchinson took the commanding lead as the favorite. Then, the Travon Walker rise began. It started before the combine, and then the testing numbers were top notch for a 6’5″, 272-pound prospect.
