Travon Walker -170 (Bet $170 to win $100)
Yes, Travon Walker is given a 62.96% chance to go first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars now over Aidan Hutchinson who is given just a 40% chance of being the first pick. The lines have shifted a ton for Jacksonville over the past few months.
At first, the assumption was that they would go offensive line to protect Trevor Lawrence. That ship sailed after franchise tagging Cam Robinson. For months it felt like Aidan Hutchinson was all but a lock to go first and now, three days before the draft, it's Travon Walker.
Trent Baalke is a mad man. Would he really pick Walker over Hutchinson? Apparently, yes. Balke has been quoted in the past saying how he values arm length for defensive line prospects. Well, Walker is 95th percentile in arm length vs Aidan Hutchinson who is just seventh percentile. Obviously more goes into it than just arm length but if that's a factor for Baalke that can't be overlooked.
Walker has skyrocketed up draft boards and for someone and it appears that this rocket ship is going all the way up to the first overall pick.
