The young NFL general manager has just made the first bold movement of the Draft.
The Jaguars acquired the selection No. 2 of the Browns for not. 5 With additional assets also exchanged, according to ESPN.
The movement was probably made by selecting the receptor/corner Travis Hunter in mind after the Titans make the quartback cam ward be the number 1 selection.
GM James Gladstone, 34, tok a page outside his mentor’s book SNead being aggressive for high -end talent.
The Jaguars had been connected to the Mason Graham defensive Tackle during most of the process prior to the Draft.
The buzz around the league in recent days changed to his preference to add an offensive game creator, which would probably have meant taking the Ashton Jeanty corridor if they stayed at number 5.
But the Browns, who thought they were looking at Hunter in the No. 2, they were presented with a sacrifice of the godfather and did not refuse despite the consensus thought that the hunter and the Abdul Carter edge corridor are the only perspectives of “not missing” in class.
The movement probably does not affect the giants in number 3 because the Jaguars were located in Pass-Ruher with Travon Walker and Josh Hines-ALL and in the Quarterback with Trevor Lawrence.
If Hunter landed in Cleveland or Jacksonville is irrelevant to Carter and the fields of Field Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart being AV for the giants.
Hunter wants to play both ways full time at the NFL after playing more than 700 snapshots in the offensive and defense spinning his 2024 winner of the Heisman trophy in Colorado.
The general manager of the Browns, Andrew Berry, compared Hunter with MLB Phenom Shohei Ohtani, which makes it even more surprising that he was willing to move not. 2.
The Browns could now be pointing to an offensive Tackle, which would add a wrinkle to the jet plans in number 7.
All teams entered Thursday in possession of their own first round selection, the first time it happened in the era of the common draft (since 1967).
