Travis Hunter - English
The selection of Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the recent draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars could affect Shedeur Sanders’ career more than many realize. Remember, the Jaguars moved up from the fifth spot to the second to take the current Heisman Trophy winner, making a major investment in the process.
Shedeur Sanders regrets getting a speeding ticket in Cleveland suburb
The Jaguars gave up their first-round pick in next year’s draft in order to acquire Travis Hunter, so the Cleveland Browns – who made the deal – now hold two first-round selections in the upcoming draft. That puts them in prime position to draft a quarterback in 2026, significantly reducing Shedeur Sanders’ chances of making an impact with the Browns.
In Sanders’ case, not only is time working against him due to the quarterback talent expected in next year’s draft, but he’s also facing long odds to even get a shot this upcoming season. He’s currently listed behind Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, making him the lowest-ranked option on the depth chart.

According to an insider, the Browns Made the right call
At the end of the recent draft, the Browns used the fifth overall pick – originally owned by the Jaguars – to select Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham. Fans were initially unhappy with the move, but over time they’ve begun to understand the long-term logic.
Cleveland Browns insider Sam Monson approved of the trade with Jacksonville, highlighting that the Browns now have strong draft capital to go after their quarterback in 2026.
“I still think the smart move is to pick up the extra first-round pick next year if for no other reason than you need the quarterback; not the guy who plays corner or wide receiver,” Monson said on the Check the Mic podcast, referring to Hunter.
Sure, it may have been painful for Browns fans to see the team pass on Travis Hunter, but looking ahead, the team will now have two first-round picks in next year’s draft – a draft expected to be rich with quarterback talent, potentially including Arch Manning from Texas and Drew Allar from Penn State.

Travis Hunter starts on offense and defense: Hunter became the first NFL player to accomplish this since 2008. Tyquan Thornton fights for his role: Thornton has dropped to fourth on the depth chart with Xavier Worthy’s return, but he still led the team in receiving and should continue to have a role in the offense moving forward.
