The Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines with a significant trade during the 2025 NFL Draft, acquiring the second overall pick from the Cleveland Browns to select versatile prospect Travis Hunter from Colorado. This trade, which sent multiple picks to Cleveland, has sparked debate on whether the Jaguars overpaid for a player whose role may not immediately address the team's key deficiencies, especially on the offensive line and overall defense.

Hunter is touted as a game-changer, but analysts like Dan Orlovsky believe that his potential impact could be diminished if quarterback Trevor Lawrence doesn't evolve into a franchise player. General Manager James Gladstone's strategy of pursuing versatile players has raised eyebrows, particularly when the Jaguars still need strong protection for Lawrence after two injury-plagued seasons. Critics argue that the Jaguars are not just a single player away from contention.
