Jaguars Trade Up To Select Travis Hunter At Second Overall

2 months ago

The Jacksonville Jaguars completed a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns to move up to the No. 2 overall pick to take University of Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. The 21-year-old is a unicorn for his ability to be elite as both a defender and offensive skill player. The general consensus is that he will make a bigger mark as a cornerback initially in his NFL career, but Jaguars new head coach Liam Coen surely has designs in mind to use him on offense as well alongside Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown and Parker Washington. Not only will Hunter immediately be another weapon for quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but he'll be a key addition to a Jacksonville secondary that was quite honestly brutally bad in 2024. For fantasy purposes, Hunter will likely struggle to make an immediate impact in 2025 with limited snaps on offense per game.
