Travis Hunter's move to cornerback will validate bold James Gladstone trade

As much criticism as Jacksonville Jaguars GM James Gladstone has drawn for giving up a first-round pick to move up three spots in last year's draft for Travis Hunter, it's all about to pay off in a big way.

"Fleecing" allegations have made the rounds aplenty in the wake of Hunter's underwhelming rookie season, which ended in injury. The Cleveland Browns own the Jags' first-round pick this year in addition to their own.

Meanwhile, Gladstone laid the groundwork elsewhere for a 13-win team that won the AFC South and has its arrow pointing way up in 2026 and beyond.
