In a dramatic move during Thursday night’s 2025 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded up from the No. 5 to the No. 2 overall pick to select Colorado Buffaloes’ standout Travis Hunter. The trade with the Cleveland Browns signals the Jaguars’ bold commitment to reshaping their roster and capitalizing on Hunter’s generational talent.
A Florida native, Hunter now gets the opportunity to return to his home state, where Jaguars head coach Liam Coen will have the unique challenge of maximizing the two-way star’s rare versatility. Known for excelling as both a wide receiver and cornerback, Hunter has made it clear he intends to continue playing both roles in the NFL, just as he did throughout his high school and college career under Deion Sanders.

The selection of Hunter drew immediate excitement from Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who took to social media to celebrate. Lawrence, set to enter his fifth NFL season, wrote, “#DUUUVAL Let’s go!!!!” signaling his enthusiasm for adding such a dynamic talent to Jacksonville’s offense. Hunter’s versatility not only promises a major boost to the Jaguars’ secondary but also gives Lawrence a new elite target to work with on the offensive side of the ball.
They need to return to the playoffs
This move also marks a turning point for a franchise that has struggled to recapture its 2022 postseason form, where the team famously mounted a thrilling comeback win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In the seasons since, Jacksonville has undergone significant changes, including revamping its coaching staff under Coen and restructuring its roster under the leadership of General Manager James Gladstone. The selection of Hunter reignites hope for Jaguars fans, filling TIAA Bank Field with a renewed sense of optimism.
Hunter’s collegiate accolades make him one of the most exciting prospects in recent memory. In 2024, the Heisman Trophy winner delivered outstanding performances on both sides of the ball, tallying 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also recording 35 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and four interceptions on defense. His ability to make game-changing plays wherever he lines up has drawn comparisons to some of the NFL’s most iconic talents.
By trading up to secure Hunter, the Jaguars are betting big on a brighter future. As he joins forces with a seasoned quarterback like Lawrence, Jacksonville fans have every reason to believe their franchise is turning a corner. The 2025 season now holds immense promise, and Hunter’s NFL journey will be one of the league’s most anticipated storylines.

Panthers’ draft shows how much faith they have in Bryce Young
The run from “starting franchise quarterback” to “benched bust” to “rejuvenated savior” is a solid arc over an entire career; Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold both reached Station 3 last year. Over in Carolina, though, Bryce Young sped-run through all the stations in just one season. After Thursday night’s first round of the draft, it’s clear that the Panthers are tripling down on Young’s potential, yet another bounce in the NFL’s most pinballing quarterback career.With the eighth pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona. McMillan himself is a defensible, potentially exceptional pick. He projects as a WR1, and Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald gave the Panthers a B for adding McMillan’s “depth and starting talent” to the roster. The pick apparently incensed the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, who wanted the receiver at No. […]

NFL Draft: Is Thomas Perry the most unlikely pick in this year’s class?
Shortly before he turned 16, Thomas Perry surprised his parents with a very unusual request for a birthday present.
