Browns facilitate Jaguars' climb to draft Travis Hunter at second pick.
Football Fireworks
Get ready for some NFL draft drama, y'all! The Jacksonville Jaguars swapped their No. 5 top pick for the No. 2 spot with the Cleveland Browns, promising a show-stopper at the 2025 draft.
Jacksonville, Here We Come
The Jaguars made this trade to draft the Colorado Heisman Trophy winner, Travis Hunter. And guess what? He's from Florida!
"I'm goin' home now," he said, flashing a big grin.
Apparently, the Jaguars and Hunter didn't chat much after the NFL scouting combine, but who needs conversations when you can make a blockbuster trade, right?
The Browns' Curve Ball
The Browns aren't just handing over their No. 2 pick, but they're also letting go of their fourth-round and sixth-round picks this year, along with the Jaguars' 2026 first-round pick. That's a hefty price for the No. 5 pick, but if they can land a game-changer like Hunter, it's a risk worth taking.
Travis Hunter: Jacksonville's Dual-Threat
Hunter's got big plans for the Jaguars. He intends to be the only full-time two-way player in the NFL, flying high as a wide receiver for Trevor Lawrence and bolstering the Jaguars' league-worst pass defense as a defensive back.
Browns' New Beginning
The Browns aren't just rearranging their draft cards; they're also shuffling their quarterback cards. They selected Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham with their No. 5 pick, makin' room for a new QB next year. And guess what? 2026's quarterback draft class looks promising, so the Browns could be draftin' a potential long-term Deshaun Watson replacement next year. They've got two first-round picks in 2026, so keep an eye on 'em, y'all! They might be makin' a big move late in the first round or snaggin' a QB in the second.
