The Jacksonville Jaguars have the No. 1 pick in the draft, and many believe that it will be either Hutchinson or Walker.

According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, there are differing opinions within the organization, with team owner Shad Khan leaning toward Hutchinson while general manager Trent Baalke seems to be infatuated with Walker.

For the second year in a row, the Jags are picking the top pick. They have another chance to strengthen their roster with a top prospect after selecting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. If Jacksonville wants to eventually become a contender, it can't miss with this pick.

Hutchinson was the player most likely to be selected first in the predraft process. Walker was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217

Hutchinson earned consensus All-American honors after recording 62 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks for the Michigan Wolverines. The high-floor type of edge-rusher whom teams dream of is what the B/R NFL Scouting Department describes him as.

Walker had 33 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and six sacks for the national-champion Georgia Bulldogs. After he ran a 4.51 in the 40-yard dash, scouts became enamored with him. He had a low sack total because he was deployed more as a run-stopper than a pass-rusher.

Both Hutchinson and Walker are destined to become productive players in the NFL, whichever direction the Jags decide to go.
