Jacksonville Jaguars Open 2022 NFL Draft with Surprise Selection
Travon Walker Selected First Overall
Projection Raises Questions
The Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold move in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, selecting Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker with the first overall pick. The move surprised many analysts, who had projected Walker to go later in the draft due to his lack of experience as a pass rusher. Walker primarily played as a down 5-technique at Georgia, which suggests he may be better suited for a different role in the NFL.
The Jaguars' selection of Walker highlights their need for improvement on the defensive line. They finished last in the NFL in sacks in 2021, and Walker's presence should help them generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
However, some analysts believe that Walker may not be the best fit for the Jaguars' defense. They argue that he is not a natural pass rusher and may struggle to adjust to the NFL game. Only time will tell if the Jaguars made the right decision in selecting Walker, but it is clear that they are hoping he can be a cornerstone of their defense for years to come.
