The Jaguars land an elite playmaker that would have their entire fan base ready to run through a wall in a new 2025 mock draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a year to forget through the first 10 weeks of the 2024 NFL season. 

When the year began, they had aspirations to win the AFC South and make a playoff run. If the season ended today, they would hold the number one overall pick, making their season to many a failure. But if they use it the way Ryan Roberts did in his recent mock 


Jaguars land dual threat Travis Hunter in a new mock draft

"The Jaguars are the rare first overall selection that doesn’t need a quarterback. Is Hunter better at cornerback or wide receiver? Should he play some on both sides? That’s for Jacksonville to decide."

As Roberts referred to above, it's still a mystery what position Hunter is going to play in the NFL. But for the Jaguars, he just so happens to be one of the best players at both WR and CB in the upcoming draft class. And they need help at both spots. My personal hunch is that he would play WR if he had to choose, but I could also see the Jagaurs being a team that would allow him to play both. 

Hunter would be an incredible compliment to Brian Thomas Jr., who has had an excellent rookie season. They would form one of the best young WR duos in the NFL, and it would certainly help get the most out of their franchise QB Trevor Lawrence. They elected to pay him and show their trust in him as their future, even though he was struggling on the field. If they do end up with the top pick in the draft, I think Hunter would be an excellent option for them to consider selecting.
