Earlier in the week in our NFL Combine rumors roundup article, we noted that Peter King of NBC Sports suggested that Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was his hunch for the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Many, however, brushed that off as one person’s opinion, thinking that the Jacksonville Jaguars would rather use the pick to protect their new franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence with an offensive lineman. For months, the most popular pick for the Jaguars has either been Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal or NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu.
Notes: Aidan Hutchinson now heavy favorite to be 1st overall pick in 2022 NFL Draft
