Eric Edholm's Commentary
We’ll be debating this pick for years, passing on more proven commodities such as Aidan Hutchinson. An atypical No. 1 overall selection, Walker nonetheless possesses the raw power, freaky athletic traits and ideal length to be a star one day. But his pass-rush effectiveness remains an area that will require some development, so expecting big sack totals early on might be foolhardy. Can Walker be a franchise pillar? That remains to be seen.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We thought Lloyd would come off the board in the 25-35 range, and he lands with the Jaguars, who traded up to get to this spot. Lloyd is a three-down playmaker and box-score stuffer with good size and athleticism who can be a bit clunky and a tick slow to react at times. This is another building block for a Jaguars defense that needs new blood.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Fortner is a highly intelligent, competitive center (or guard) who is a better athlete than his testing numbers would indicate. OL coaches liked him more than some scouts. Fortner's strength and toughness will serve him well as he helps protect Trevor Lawrence.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
After adding Devin Lloyd on Thursday, the Jaguars double up at linebacker with Muma, who has a strong nose for the ball, good athleticism and a competitive fire. There's a theme in Jacksonville: It's loading up on athletically gifted, highly competitive players. That's a good thing.
