biggie. Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Right now Kayvon Thibodeaux and Aidan Hutchinson are the favorites to go first overall, but what about Neal? Offensive line is also a big weakness for Jacksonville and protecting Trevor Lawrence has to be one of their biggest priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkeyDoke21 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Should is difficult to answer, but he absolutely could. At least as of right now. He's been my post season to combine favorite to go number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I dont' think there's truly a top overall talent this year so anyone can go first really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinsChampionships Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I love Evan Neal because he physically dominated 3 different positions of LG/RT/LT throughout his 3 years (within an elite SEC). But my question is this. If he wasn't coming out of a legendary and historic Alabama; would he be considered #1 overall worthy? As a Jets fan I hope he goes #1 overall. Because Ikem Ekwonu out of N.C. State is the beast I really want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTTRUTH Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I don’t honestly think he should go #1 overall. But clearly could. I’m not saying he’s not a good player. But I honestly don’t think he’s even a top 3 player in this class, much less worth 1 overall. Watch the Auburn game. They got after him a bit. I would take Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, or your #1 rated WR or CB over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Could? Yes. Should? No. I honestly don't think there's a #1 overall worthy prospect in this class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Ikem Ekwonu made a pretty good case to be the tackle selected first if one is. I'm of the opinion that Hutchinson is far from the most talented player in the draft. Maybe he'll blow up the measurables and change my mind, but I just watched a bunch of Michigan games to look at both him and Ojabo, and I just don't see a top end pass rush prospect. There are blue chip looking tackles, and not much else in the class at high value positions to make sense. Neal or Ekwonu look like they might be the two most talented players of the bunch as it is right now, so might as well take one of them with the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I have a feeling it’s going to be Ekwonu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhhh but you gotta draft somebody. We’re not gonna just skip the number 1 pick. so you think teams should just forfeit their picks until a player matches up to the value huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Buzz Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 As far as if we go OT, I definitely feel like things seem to be leaning Ickey. Much better fit in the scheme Rauscher is going to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ekwonu hits his ceiling he could be a Hall-of-Famer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue is with Walker Little in the fold who appears to be a prototypical LT it may cause issues, but I love the idea of a guy with his nastiness/in your face attitude on the OL protecting Trevor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekwonu can start on the right, of course. With all these teams needing LTs, you could potentially trade him after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
