Walter Football

For Walter Football, the talent and potential of Aidan Hutchison is enough reasons for the Jaguars to take the edge rusher despite the team being decent at the position.

“The Jaguars don’t need another edge rusher because they have good talent at the position, but I don’t know how they can pass up on the best prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft.”

Team to Pick | Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars | Aidan Hutchinson
Detroit Lions | Travon Walker
Houston Texans | Evan Neal
New York Jets | Kayvon Thibodeaux
New York Giants | Ikem Ekwonu
Carolina Panthers | Kenny Pickett
New York Giants | Ahmad Gardner
Atlanta Falcons | Jermaine Johnson
Seattle Seahawks | Charles Cross
New York Jets | Derek Stingley

CBS Sports

Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports, meanwhile, has the Jaguars taking an offensive lineman in Evan Neal from Alabama. With Trevor Lawrence still being groomed in the NFL, the Jaguars badly need to protect him if they are to make a leap in 2022. Last season, the Jags were last in the NFL with just 14.9 points per game. Another notable projected pick for Kerr is quarterback Kenny Picketts going to the Carolina Panthers as the sixth pick overall – and first quarterback off the board. The Panthers still have Sam Darnold, but he is not viewed as a long-term answer under center.

Team to Pick | Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars | Evan Neal
Detroit Lions | Kayvon Thibodeaux
Houston Texans | Aidan Hutchinson
New York Jets | Ikem Ekwonu
New York Giants | Charles Cross
Carolina Panthers | Kenny Pickett
New York Giants | Kyle Hamilton
Atlanta Falcons | Garrett Wilson
Seattle Seahawks | Malik Willis
New York Jets | Ahmad Gardner

Sporting News

For Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News, a noteworthy selection he has in his projection is Malik Willis going to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks, of course, have parted ways this offseason with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson, leaving them with uncertainty under center. They have Drew Lock, but the Seahawks could do better.

Jacksonville Jaguars | Aidan Hutchinson
Detroit Lions | Kyle Hamilton
Houston Texans | Evan Neal
New York Jets | Kayvon Thibodeaux
New York Giants | Ikem Ekwonu
Carolina Panthers | Charles Cross
New York Giants | Derek Stingley Jr.
Atlanta Falcons | Travon Walker
Seattle Seahawks | Malik Willis
New York Jets | Sauce Gardner
