GRADE: B

What will Travis Hunter do in Jacksonville? Maybe cure cancer. At least that’s the sense you get from new Jags GM James Gladstone, who couldn’t help but wax philosophical at the two-way star’s introductory press conference: “As we sit here, Travis Hunter is a Jacksonville Jaguar. And really, what comes to mind for me, right, thinking about the sport of football, and really the power of the game itself, right, its capacity to ignite belief. Belief in ourselves, belief in others, right, belief in achieving what many may deem impossible. Travis Hunter, he embodies belief. He’s a rare person, he’s a rare player, but he’s also a reminder that the boundaries of the game of football were built to be challenged.” CAN I GET A WITNESS FROM THE CONGREGATION?!? Look, I get it. In Gladstone’s first draft as a general manager, the 34-year-old made a bodacious trade to acquire the brightest star in this draft class. Splashy stuff, immediately adding a heap of intrigue to the team in Jacksonville.

FAVORITE PICK

Travis Hunter, wide receiver/cornerback. Yes, after playfully mocking Gladstone’s excitement about this pick, I’m obnoxiously here to tell you how thrilled I am to see how Hunter is utilized. Can the reigning Heisman Trophy winner really manage a full NFL workload on both sides of the ball? Gladstone shed some light on the plan during an interview with ESPN: “His intent is on playing both sides of the ball, as is ours. Now, when it comes to his onboarding process, we’ll give him a heavy dose of offense, and sprinkle in the defensive side of the ball, knowing that by the time we get to the regular season, those should be balanced out. But that’s the initial onboarding plan as it stands today.”

SLEEPER

Bhayshul Tuten, running back. Am I finally ready to discuss a Jags draft pick not named Travis Hunter? Yeah, sorry about that, Duval denizens — Hunter’s pretty damn intriguing! But Tuten’s compelling in his own right. The explosive athlete posted the best 40-yard dash (4.32 seconds) and vertical leap (40.5 inches) among combine running backs, and he produced at a high level over the past two seasons at Virginia Tech. The one thing he needs to work on: ball security. NFL coaches don’t take kindly to young players who put the ball on the turf.
