Twitter reactions to Jacksonville Jaguars selecting Travon Walker first overall

The Jacksonville Jaguars took the less popular selection with the first overall pick in Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday in Las Vegas. They passed on Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and North Carolina State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu to take Walker, who has a higher ceiling than the previously mentioned prospects.

Walker finished his junior season with 33 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, six interceptions, two pass deflections, and a fumble recovery. However, the Bulldogs’ defense was the best in the country and saw several of their players selected in the first round. He also helped Georgia win its first national championship in quite some time.

Jaguars’ Twitter took to the social media platform in full force to celebrate Jacksonville’s decision to take Walker or voice their displeasure. Jaguars Wire scoured Twitter for the best reactions, and here are the best ones we found:

He was one of many Jaguars fans who weren’t thrilled with general manager Trent Baalke’s decision to take Walker.

It’s such a typical Jaguars move to take someone who has lots of potential but also comes with heavy risk due to his lack of production in college.

Walker and defensive end Josh Allen definitely have the potential to be one of the scariest pass-rushing duos in the AFC.

Unfortunately, he can not, but the Jaguars might take one or two offensive linemen later in the draft.

Not so fast, my friend. Jaguars still have a ways to go.

That would put Jacksonville in a solid position to grab the first overall pick for the third straight season.
