Hunter’s Two-Way Dream Dims as Jaguars Move Him to Cornerback

The Jaguars’ 2025 trade-up for Travis Hunter aimed to give them a rare two-way star at WR/CB, but Ian Rapoport reports the team will move him to full-time cornerback with limited pass-game use. The shift dampens the two-way hype, and with only a small CB sample size (plus a season-ending injury) concerns grow that Hunter may not justify the No. 2 pick or the trade cost if he can’t excel at corner. The article argues the Jaguars likely overpaid for a potential bust, though Jacksonville should remain strong in 2026 regardless of Hunter’s role, and suggests alternate, more traditional drafting paths.

Five teams—Patriots, Bears, Titans, Buccaneers and Jaguars—still face major roster gaps as the 2026 offseason unfolds: New England needs an edge rusher (potential trades or first‑round help), Chicago must shore up its secondary, Tennessee seeks a true WR1 (via trade or Day‑2 draft options), Tampa Bay aims to boost the pass rush through the draft, and Jacksonville must rebuild its back seven with free‑agent signings and Day‑2 picks.
