At first, the pitches for the Las Vegas Raiders trading up to acquire Colorado two-way sensation Travis Hunter seemed ludicrous.

After Colorado’s Pro Day, it felt inevitable that Hunter was going to go second overall to the Cleveland Browns.
However, that has not stopped the rumors from persisting, almost to the point where it is more than just a remote possibility.
