“You have to take the player you think is the best fit for the organization and makes the biggest difference,' Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said earlier this week in Indianapolis.
Michigan defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson speaks during a press conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Friday, March 4, 2022. – Kayvon Thibodeaux looked like a lock to be this year's top NFL draft pick — until Aidan Hutchinson played his way into the conversation.
This four-man race to the top has become a hot topic at this week's annual scouting combine and has rekindled a familiar question: Who's No. 1? With no quarterbacks likely to be selected right away, the guys in the trenches are the favorites. Plus, the Jags already have their franchise quarterback after taking Trevor Lawrence last year. Lawrence's presence presumably gives Baalke the option of adding either a coveted pass-rushing cornerstone, a massive pass protector who can keep Lawrence upright and healthy for years to come, or a trade that could fill multiple holes.
Until recently, Thibodeaux, the All-American out of Oregon, appeared to be the odds-on favorite. He had seven sacks last season despite missing 2 1/2 games with a sprained ankle that slowed him through some other games. But with his stock apparently waning amid questions about his consistency from play to play, Thibodeaux went on the offensive Friday.
