The excitement for the NFL draft is building.

We are only 3 days away from the NFL Draft, and the Jags are on the clock.

A betting favorite has emerged for the Jacksonville Jaguars to select with the top pick. The Jaguars’ are rumored to be choosing between Kayvon Thibodeaux, Aidan Hutchinson, and Evan Neal. Then Travon Walker joined the conversation as Neal seemed to slip out of it.

Now there are rumors about the possibility of them picking Ikem Ekwonu, but it seems Vegas is set on a betting favorite for the pick. Travon Walker is the clear cut betting favorite to be taken by the Jaguars with pick 1.

At 6-foot-5 and 272 pounds Walker ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash and showed out in all of the other measurable drills at the combine.

He didn’t exactly set things on fire last year, he only had six sacks in 2021, the only season he spent as a full-time starter. Unlike last year there just  isn’t a frontrunner,  so we’ll actually have to tune in this year.
