JACKSONVILLE – With 2025 rookie minicamp scheduled at the Miller Electric Center this weekend, Jaguars "experts" analyze the team's rookie class and the 2025 NFL Draft:

• Overall impression: The selection of rookie cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter set the Jaguars' football leadership on their own path. It was easily the boldest move the Jaguars ever have made on Draft Weekend, and it brought them a player with both star power and legitimate game-changing talent. It also set the standard for the type of person the club seeks; Hunter is the very definition of intangibly rich – a great player who loves the game, has an elite work ethic and is willing to do whatever it takes to compete at the highest level. No matter what else they accomplished in the draft, this was the decision that will define the Tony Boselli/James Gladstone/Liam Coen era in Jacksonville and they gave themselves great odds with the selection of Hunter.
• Breaking down the first round: See above – plus he scored 16 touchdowns on offense last season at Colorado and led the team with four interceptions. The question will be how they use him, and you can be sure they have a plan and will stick with it. The challenge he faces is the level of competition goes from good in the Big 12 to incredible in the NFL and will require more from him during the week. I can absolutely see him playing on both sides of the ball as he did in college, but not 100 percent of the snaps as he did for the Buffalos. I imagine Hunter's ability to impact the offense and help quarterback Trevor Lawrence will take precedence, but I also see the strategic opportunities he can present by checking into the game on defense. He's going to be a really fun player for Coen and his staff to game plan with – and for the rest of us to watch.
• What else I liked: I loved the selection of guard Wyatt Milum in the third round. The Jaguars did good work in free agency, finding players who raised the floor – as Gladstone explained in March. But they needed to find a cornerstone player in the middle of the offensive line and not another short-term solution. Milum feels like that guy – a legitimate physical presence who can hold the line in pass protection, keeping Lawrence upright and healthy. He's also a finisher in the run game, who can help this team find some consistency and stay on the field – which they've struggled to do in recent seasons. I think he is a great pick to finally build a powerful run game, which should go a long way toward Lawrence taking a big step forward.

• Overall impression: An emphatic start to a new era here in Jacksonville. General Manager James Gladstone has been very deliberate in how he describes his vision and has emphasized that the Jags won't be afraid to make big moves. I like it.
• Breaking down the first round: It was a bold move to trade up for Hunter, but it makes perfect sense if Hunter is what everyone predicts him to be in the NFL. I'm not a huge fan of hoarding picks – and if the Jaguars have a decent season this year, then the first-round pick next year will be in the No. 20 range. The move benefits the franchise in myriad ways as Gladstone brings a bona fide superstar to Jacksonville.
• What else I liked: The rest of the draft picks bring versatility to the current roster. Many of the picks – including safety Caleb Ransaw, Milum and linebacker Jalen McLeod – have experience playing multiple positions. Speed and physicality are apparent throughout the rounds. I think several may end up with starting roles come September.

• Overall impression: It's a new day in Jacksonville and it feels like the new Jaguars regime operated in that fashion during draft week. Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli, Gladstone and Head Coach Liam Coen appear to be practicing what they have been preaching. I would have thought the anxiety and nervousness of a first draft for all three gentlemen would have been obvious. Instead, I think we felt a calm and confidence from the trio that could set the tone for a Jaguars organization that will operate with a swagger, aligned and fearless approach.
• Breaking down the first round: It's hard to find anyone that isn't in love with the Hunter move. This organization hasn't had enough superstars – and hopefully, they just made a move for the best player in the draft. The bold move was applauded, and Hunter might be a perfect piece to the Jaguars' puzzle. He will bring a lot of eyes to Jacksonville this season. He helps form a dynamic duo on offense and gives Lawrence another weapon. He also will impact the game on both sides of the football. I think what people aren't talking enough about is how much he will impact the Jaguars' building, locker room and meeting rooms. He has a contagious energy and the Jaguars need some juice. Hunter brings that along with his talent.
• What else I liked: I'm not going to tell you I'm in love with the rest of the draft. How do we really know? I liked that Coen added to his offense with Milum and running back Bhayshul Tuten. I think the Jaguars got a lot faster. I think what I liked the most is it appears the draft room didn't get emotional and stuck to their disciplined approach. I think the evidence of that is not reaching for an edge rusher. Instead, they acknowledged they didn't boost that room enough and signed Emmanuel Ogbah 24 hours after the draft.

• Overall impression: The Jaguars wanted to be bold in this new era – and it gets no bolder than the Round 1 trade for Hunter. They wanted to build the offensive line – and they kept doing that by selecting Milum in Round 3 and center Jonah Monheim in Round 7. They wanted to get faster – and Hunte and Tuten make them a lot faster, enhancing what Coen calls a quick-strike element. This new regime has a focus and a plan. They're not afraid to aggressively follow it. That's really encouraging.
• Breaking down the first round: The Jaguars clearly wanted to set a bold, aggressive tone for the organization in the '25 draft and it was hard to be bolder or more aggressive than trading up from No. 5 to No. 2 to select Hunter. The Jaguars not only believe he's not only the best player in the draft, they believe he's the best wide receiver and cornerback in the draft. They also believe he can reshape and transcend the sport. Those are big beliefs. If they're right, this redefines the franchise. If they're not …
• What else I liked: The Jaguars, despite not having a second-round selection, didn't just add depth after the Hunter selection. They also added a potential quick-strike running back in Round 4 running back Bhayshul Tuten and they added a potential immediate starter in Round 3 in Milum. The Jaguars also believe Ransaw is a potential Year One starter. If Hunter is as good as the Jaguars believe, that automatically makes this a great draft that can change the franchise. But this also has the feel of a deep, impactful draft for the new regime.

• Overall impression: The Jaguars shocked the NFL by executing a bold trade up to No. 2 overall for the best overall player in Hunter. They also found key pieces in the third round with Ransaw and Milum, who should be able to compete for time immediately. The later-round picks each have traits that stand out and give them a chance to come to camp and compete for a roster spot. There is a clean slate with new leadership, so everyone has a chance – even late-round picks and undrafted players.
• Breaking down the first round: Considering what they gave up to get Hunter, the expectation should be for him to be a perennial All-Pro at either receiver or corner (or both at the same time) – plus a potential Hall-of-Fame player. The leadership is not backing away from voicing it either, using phrases like "alter the sport." That's a massive amount of expectation to put on one player, but it feels like if anyone can handle it it's Hunter, who has had this type of expectation since he was a five-star recruit – and from all accounts off the field has handled it with grace, hard work and focus. The on-field proof is there, and it shows in his trophy room. He's one of the most important draft picks in Jaguars history, as he is a major player to help define the next decade for the Jaguars' organization.
• What else I liked: Ransaw has a chance to be good if he can keep that aggressive tackling mentality about him. I also like the possible home-run ability of Tuten in either some packages on offense or in the special-teams return game. Also, McLeod showed his consistency in the rigors of the SEC in a hybrid linebacker role – let's see how he develops as a pass rusher with first-round talent ahead of him on the depth chart.

• Overall impression: My overall impression of the draft is I really liked it. There were some key themes: guys who "love ball," which has been a constant. The type who arrive early and leave late. And speed, lots of speed. Hunter can fly. They added the fastest running back in the draft. They added two safeties who are very fast by safety standards. And they filled needs.
• Breaking down the first round: How in the world could they have done much better? They solved a need at wide receiver opposite Brian Thomas Jr. They solved a need at least part of the time at cornerback opposite Tyson Campbell. They got the best player in the draft. And he "loves ball." I can't wait to see what Hunter does as a Jaguar and I don't care what they had to give up to get him.
• What else I liked: Again, they seem very aligned, very committed in what they are doing. They added physicality in free agency. They added speed in the draft. They filled needs to where I have a level of confidence in every room. Might need another defensive lineman or so, maybe a veteran to play inside. But overall, very impressed with the draft. And before that, free agency.
