Experts grade Jacksonville Jaguars trading up and picking Travis Hunter in NFL draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars went big and they went bold in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, trading up to select a one-of-a-kind player in Travis Hunter.

The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner wasn't only dominant at one position, but two at the college level. In fact, on Dane Brugler's positional rankings, Hunter was the top cornerback and the top wide receiver.

According to Adam Schefter, with the Jaguars, Hunter will play both positions, but it sounds like, at least initially, he will be onboarded by giving him a "heavy dose" of the receiver position, while still playing cornerback as well.
