Best Pick: CB/WR Travis Hunter, No. 2 Overall
What We Liked: That Travis Hunter trade was incredible. Getting two top-end weapons for the price of one is worth any amount of pick capital you have to pay to get up there. James Gladstone is making an incredible splash in his first year as a general manager with this trade and did lots of draft maneuvering that worked to his advantage. The Wyatt Milum pickup solidifies the offensive line well and Bhayshul Tuten should be a really strong dynamic duo with Tank Bigsby to take pressure off Trevor Lawrence.
Not Sure About: Hmm, lots of announcing guys who aren't going to play the position they did in college, shifting over to somewhere else. Caleb Ransaw played all slot corner last year and is looking to be used at safety, Jalen McLeod got announced as a linebacker when his natural fit is as an edge rusher, Wyatt Milum is likely shifting from tackle to guard. If these guys don't do well at their next position, the Jaguars' depth class is pretty much toast.
