Hunter is a star, the best player in this draft. Jacksonville had to be bold now and this is bold. It’s a great move.”
For The Win’s Michelle R. Martinelli, Christian D’Andrea and Robert Zeglinski (Grade: A+): “After surrendering a blockbuster haul to trade up just three spots, Hunter was obviously the blue-chip prospect Jacksonville wanted. The former Colorado star says he wants to play both ways in the NFL, and it’s hard not to think that the Jaguars will actually let him do it. On offense, he and Brian Thomas Jr. can form one of the NFL’s best receiving duos while giving Trevor Lawrence a higher floor. On defense, he can be a shutdown cornerback who makes playmakers, quarterbacks, and offensive coordinators alike lose so much sleep.”
Sports Illustrated’s Gilberto Manzano and Matt Verderame (Grade: A): “Hunter is one of the most unique talents to ever come into the NFL, starring as both a corner and receiver for the Buffaloes. Over the past two years at Colorado, Hunter caught 153 passes for 1,979 yards and 20 touchdowns, including 15 as a senior. On defense, he notched seven interceptions in that span as well. Last year, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s best receiver, and the Bednarik Award as the best defender in college football. In short, Hunter is a generational talent.”
Yahoo! Sports’ Charles McDonald (Grade: B+): “The Jaguars have made the first bold move of the draft, with new general manager James Gladstone taking the ‘F them picks’ approach from his former workplace with the Rams. The Jaguars are getting the best player in the draft and will get to decide his fate on offense or defense, but Hunter plans on playing both ways. Obviously the Jaguars have not spoken much about Hunter prior to the draft, but it’s hard to hate on a team that already believes they have their quarterback moving up and getting Hunter.”
