Looks like the Jaguars have gone full Jaguars so far in the draft.

Trading back into the first for a linebacker who probably would have still been there at 33 is so Jaguars...

I'm not a college football expert, but Walker, to me, looks like a slightly less terrible Taven. Really him crashing into a parked car a few weeks ago should have been enough to move them off of him. I don't think Hutchinson will be great, either, but I don't get paid millions to figure out who to pick. I expect the Jaguars to just not Jag it up, and of course they did.

 I wouldn't go this far, he will likely step in and play well. He is really good with leverage and burst, will likely be fine in the trenches vs the run day 1 being he is quite lengthy and strong. My problem is do you take a guy 1st overall who isn't expected to get you a 10-15 sack season year in and out?  The answer should be no every time, he doesn't even get off the ball well or effectively rush the passer. I will forever scratch my head at this pick, even if he turns out to be a stud. In the moment it just feels like a waste.
