The Jaguars made the first big splash of the 2025 NFL Draft when they traded up to the second overall pick to draft Colorado WR/DB Travis Hunter. Hunter was previously slated to go to Cleveland, who had already outright said that they view him as a WR first and a DB second. Jacksonville hasn’t made it clear how they view Hunter, making him an interesting fantasy decision point right now that we’ll likely get more clarity on in the coming days/weeks. Let’s dig into what we should expect for Hunter and the rest of the Jaguars’ offense after this pick.
TRAVIS HUNTER
- Hunter played an absurd 119.4 snaps per game last season for Colorado playing full-time on both sides of the ball en route to a Heisman Trophy. He accumulated 84/1,319/8 as a wide receiver while totaling 67 tackles, five picks, and 11 passes defended. Daniel Jeremiah highlighted his body control and hands, while Lance Zierlein compared him to DeVonta Smith for his burst and focus at the catch point, while acknowledging that he has room to grow as a route runner. Hunter’s versatility propelled him to a Heisman-winning campaign and the No. 2 overall pick, but make no mistake: He’s an elite, albeit imperfect, WR prospect too. Anthony Amico’s model compared him to Jaylen Waddle and Ladd McConkey as his closest prospect matches as a receiver — that’s great company.
