Going for the "safe" play, especially with the No. 1 pick, Jags have to accurately measure the risk. If we are saying Hutch has a very high chance of a floor as a yearly 10~ sack, 30~ QB pressure player, then he should definitely be the pick. But if we are looking at lower likely floor than that, going for a player with a higher ceiling would be better strategy.

I'm not totally sure that Hutch is the best player in this draft (I think he's really good) but I do think he's the safest and the Jags can not afford to miss on this pick.

If they roll with Neal/Walker/Icky and they are a bust, it will be a #BecauseJaguars moment. Missing on Hutch though would mean that everyone would have missed because he's the consensus top dude right now.
