Jaguars select Travon Walker first overall

The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker with the first pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Walker may seem like a surprise to a lot of people nationally, but he is a player who’s name has started to come up locally as a possibility for the first overall pick, and momentum and chatter really picked up the closer we got to the NFL Draft. Many stated that everyone would be “surprised” by the Jaguars pick first overall and while it may be a surprise to many nationally, locally the pick does not offer much surprise, especially with general manager Trent Baalke’s background and history.
