The Jacksonville Jaguars completed a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns to move up to the No. 2 overall pick to take University of Colorado wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. The 21-year-old is a unicorn for his ability to be elite as both a defender and offensive skill player. The general consensus is that he will make a bigger mark as a cornerback initially in his NFL career, but Jaguars new head coach Liam Coen surely has designs in mind to use him on offense as well alongside
Brian Thomas Jr.,
Dyami Brown and
Parker Washington. Not only will Hunter immediately be another weapon for quarterback
Trevor Lawrence, but he'll be a key addition to a Jacksonville secondary that was quite honestly brutally bad in 2024. For fantasy purposes, Hunter will likely struggle to make an immediate impact in 2025 with limited snaps on offense per game.

The Cleveland Browns have traded the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for the fifth overall pick, the 36th pick, and a 2026 first-round pick. The Jaguars will also receive the 104th and 200th overall picks. In the first blockbuster trade on Thursday night, the Jaguars traded up to acquire the second overall pick, likely to be used on Colorado WR/DB
Travis Hunter.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport lists the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks as some teams open to/discussing trading back in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. Rapoport also says almost every team late in Round 1 is open to moving back. The Houston Texans, Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars are a few of the teams potentially looking to move up, with the Jaguars rumored to be contemplating going up as high as No. 2 with the Cleveland Browns to take Colorado two-way star
Travis Hunter. Carolina sits at No. 8 overall, with the Dolphins at No. 13, the Bucs at No. 19, and the Seahawks at No. 18. Tampa is an obvious candidate to slide back and pick up more draft capital, as they only have six total selections this week.

The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly reports that the Miami Dolphins have called multiple teams ahead of the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night to let them know that they are willing to trade down out of the No. 13 overall pick, depending on how the board falls. It has been the norm for the Dolphins while general manager Chris Grier has been with the franchise. Going into last year's draft, Grier had made more trades since 2019 than any other executive. The Dolphins are attempting to land more picks in the second round on Friday night as they look to beef up their offensive and defensive lines and their secondary, specifically. As things stand right now, Miami has only two picks in Rounds 2 and 3 combined, so don't be surprised if they trade out of the first round entirely on Thursday night.

The Cleveland Browns acquired a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 166 overall) and a fifth-rounder in the 2027 draft on Thursday from the Houston Texans in exchange for two 2025 sixth-round picks (one at No. 179 overall and one at No. 216 overall) and a 2025 seventh-rounder (No. 255 overall), according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Browns hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night, and if they don't trade back within the first round, they are expected to take Colorado wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter with that selection. The Browns have also been rumored to be looking at trading back into the back half of the first round on Thursday evening to potentially take Ole Miss quarterback
Jaxson Dart. The No. 2 overall selection is viewed as much too high to take a chance on Colorado QB
Shedeur Sanders.

The Washington Commanders are trying to trade back from the No. 29 overall pick in Thursday's 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL insider Dianna Russini. However, if the team sticks with the pick, they are likely to take a defensive player. Washington has just five total picks in this year's draft after sending a fifth-round pick for wide receiver former 49ers
Deebo Samuel Sr. and two mid-round picks for former Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. That said, a potential move-back for additional picks makes sense in a draft class that is not considered to be strong in the first round. If Washington stays at No. 29, the top edge rusher on its board could be the target.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Jaguars are the "team to watch" heading into Thursday night's 2025 NFL Draft. Specifically, the team could make the move up for the No. 2 overall pick to land Colorado wide receiver/cornerback
Travis Hunter. Jacksonville has also been rumored to be interested in selecting Boise State running back
Ashton Jeanty, so their draft-night activity is a top storyline to watch. New general manager James Gladstone is heading into his first draft with the organization and could be looking to make a big splash to bring in one of the "blue-chip" prospects in this year's class. If Hunter lands in Duval County,
Trevor Lawrence might have one of the top wide receiver duos in the NFL in
Brian Thomas Jr. and Hunter.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo are two players that are believed to be available via trade during this week's NFL draft, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Okoronkwo has 7.5 sacs over the last two seasons, while Newsome is entering the final year of his current deal in 2025. Newsome, who the team selected 26th overall in the 2021 draft out of Northwestern, has a $13.4 million salary cap hit this year, which is another reason for Cleveland to consider trading him. The 24-year-old is a versatile defensive back for the Browns, but he had a career-low 27 tackles (24 solo), one interception and five pass breakups in 13 games (three starts) in 2024 in his fourth year in the league. Okoronkwo, 30, had three sacks, 23 tackles (15 solo), five tackles for loss and six QB hits in 16 games (five starts) in his second year with the Browns.

Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown (knee) said he's doing great in his recovery from a meniscus injury and has been participating in offseason workouts. Brown has been doing what doctors and trainers are telling him and expects to be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. The 27-year-old defensive end played in just one game for the Panthers in 2024 due to his knee injury after starting 17 games in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023. He was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023, racking up a career-best 103 tackles (57 solo), two sacks, seven tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, one interception and six pass breakups. Carolina's pass rush will be in a much better place if Brown, the former seventh overall pick in 2020 out of Auburn, can return to his pre-injury form. The same can be said for Brown's value in IDP fantasy leagues if he's 100 percent healthy.

There are questions as to how Colorado wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter will transition to the balance of being both an offensive and defensive player in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is confident Hunter will succeed. "Travis is somebody that is uniquely equipped to do both," Stefanski said. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner averaged an FBS-high 111.5 snaps per game the last two years at Colorado, with no other player averaging more than 78 since at least 2015. Many draft analysts believe the 21-year-old is both the top receiver and top cornerback available in the 2025 NFL draft this week. The Brows would certainly use Hunter in more ways than one, and if they don't trade back from No. 2 overall, many believe that Cleveland will add the elite athlete on Thursday night in Round 1.

The Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and New England Patriots have all received calls about picks Nos. 2-4 in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. According to sources, teams interested in moving into the top five have a specific player in mind, most likely Colorado wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. The Tennessee Titans are fully expected to take Miami quarterback
Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick when they are on the clock on Thursday evening. It doesn't sound like the Browns, Giants or Patriots are sold on their options after Ward. The Browns and Giants are very much in the market for a signal-caller, but Colorado QB
Shedeur Sanders' stock has fallen considerably in recent weeks and is no longer a lock to go to either Cleveland or New York in the top five of the draft.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars, who own the No. 5 overall pick, and the Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6) have both expressed interest in moving up at the top of the first round if the player they want is available, according to sources. Russini was told that the Jaguars are hoping to keep this year's draft "electric" with first-year head coach Liam Coen and first-year general manager James Gladstone, and they are looking for an offensive player (
Travis Hunter?). For the right trade offer, though, the Jaguars remain open to moving down from the No. 5 pick as well. If the Jaguars or Raiders were to swing a trade to move up to somewhere in the No. 2 to 4 pick range, it would most likely be for either Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. The Browns, Giants and Patriots hold picks No. 2 through 4, respectively.

The Houston Texans are actively making calls in an attempt to move up in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. General manager Nick Caserio has executed 18 total draft-day trades since taking the job in 2021, most notably trading up for Will Anderson after taking
C.J. Stroud in the 2023 NFL Draft. Houston holds the No. 25 pick on Thursday and could get aggressive to add wide receiver or offensive line help on Day 1. While Houston won a playoff game last season, its offense took a step back in Year 2 under Stroud thanks to protection and injury concerns. With sights set on a Super Bowl run during Stroud's rookie deal, don't be surprised if Houston goes all in on a big-time prospect.

Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. and Marshall edge rusher Mike Green are in play for the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 15 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The Falcons have ranked 31st or 32nd in total sacks three times over the last four seasons, and pass-rush help is the most glaring need for the organization. Pearce was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2023 and 2024 and compiled 17.5 sacks, one interception, and three forced fumbles over the last two seasons. Green, who began his career at Virginia, totaled 21.5 sacks and four forced fumbles since the start of the 2023 campaign for the Thunder Herd.

The New Orleans Saints have a shaky quarterback position after the report of
Derek Carr's shoulder injury and have been rumored to be interested in Colorado QB
Shedeur Sanders or Ole Miss QB
Jaxson Dart with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, Dianna Russini reports that New Orleans is open to taking the best player available (likely on defense) and selecting a quarterback later in the draft. Potential candidates for that pick include one of the Georgia edge rushers, Jalon Walker or Mykel Williams. Many mock drafts around the industry have slotted a quarterback for the Saints with that selection, but it sounds like that is far from a certainty, and it might even be unlikely.
