Travis Hunter is the wild card on this offense. The gifted two-way player spent time during the Jags' recent minicamp on both sides of the ball, further fueling expectations that he will be used in some capacity like he was used in college but more focused on offense.
The question remains, though: How will a 22-year-old rookie fare in the NFL if he plays offense and defense? We only have Deion Sanders and, to a lesser degree, Charles Woodson as examples in modern times, but even they played the bulk of their time on defense. That question will remain through draft season and will only be revealed, of course, during the season. That means whoever drafts Hunter will do so not fully understanding how it will play out. But considering Hunter is viewed at this point as a low-end WR3, perhaps it's a risk worth taking.
The other question to ask is: If Brian Thomas Jr. continues ascending, how much production would be left for Hunter? It's a real concern but one that could pay off handsomely should Hunter become a force on offense. Hunter is one of those players that you wait and wait and wait on, and if it reaches a certain point in the draft where he is still available - Round 9 or 10 perhaps - you grab him.

Trade: Jaguars land Lions wideout Tim Patrick
Detroit gets 2026 6th-round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Aug 27, 7:45 am
|  | League source confirms #Jaguars acquire WR Tim Patrick from Detroit Lions for a 2026 sixth-round pick, as @TomPelissero (deal) and @APMarkLong (compensation) pointed out.

FFToday's Take: The Jaguars were a bit thin in their wide receiver room, especially if their intent on playing Travis Hunter some on defense. Jacksonville was reportedly interested in Broncos wideout Devaugn Vele before he was moved to New Orleans. Patrick will give Jacksonville a bigger target on the outside but it's not a big boost to his fantasy value. This move does help Detroit rookie Isaac TeSlaa who has flashed during pre-season. He'll compete for targets with Kalif Raymond as the Lions third receiver.
