It’s April Fools Day, which means that we’re less than a month away from the Jaguars making the first pick in the NFL Draft...again. Many mock drafts have had the Jaguars taking Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson first overall, but another name has been heating up recently: Travon Walker from Georgia. Walker’s odds of being the first overall pick have increased drastically since the start of free agency, and some pundits could see GM Trent Baalke loving Walker’s athleticism and frame.
However, at the expense of Walker’s rise has been the drop of Kayvon Thibodeaux. The junior from Oregon was the number one pick for most of last summer, but an injury-riddled season and NFL teams concerns about his effort, motor, and “want-to” for the game (I’ll get to that later).
