Travon Walker's draft stock has soared in recent weeks, and now the Georgia defensive standout has emerged as the consensus favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
ESPN's Todd McShay reported Monday that Walker appears to be the preferred target over Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson for the Jacksonville Jaguars:
"The belief around the league is Jacksonville prefers the upside and traits of Walker over the proven production, motor and leadership that Hutchinson brings to the table. And it is nearly a lock that one of them will come off the board first.
