Is Aidan Hutchinson on Track to be No 1 Pick in 2022 NFL Draft?

Aidan Hutchinson is starting to be linked to the Jacksonville Jaguars as the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars quietly made a move that could tip their hand as to their plans with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.

The Jaguars franchise tagged offensive tackle Cam Robinson on Tuesday afternoon for the second straight season.

While Jacksonville desperately needs offensive line help and could address it at the top of the Draft, this could indicate that the team is looking to spend their second consecutive No. 1 pick on a defensive end, like Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson.

Here are the current odds for the No. 1 pick from WynnBET Sportsbook:

2022 NFL Draft No. 1 Pick Odds

  • Evan Neal +110
  • Ikem Ekwonu +120
  • Aidan Hutchinson +500
  • Kayvon Thibodeaux +1000

Hutchinson was the Heisman Trophy runner up this season after staring for College Football Playoff participant Michigan. The defensive end has been mocked typically around the second pick and the local Detroit Lions, but this move may indicate that the Jags have seen enough after the NFL Draft combine and want to take him first.

The other players in the mix are offensive linemen Evan Neal out of Alabama and Ikem Ekwonu from North Carolina State. Ekwonu has soared up draft boards over the past several weeks while Neal has long been linked to Jacksonville after staring on Alabama's dominant offense.

However, keep an eye on Hutchinson, who may be the trendy name on mock drafts after the Jags signaled they are keeping Robinson around at a hefty price.
