The 2026 NFL offseason brings urgent questions about the 2025 draft class, with Travis Hunter at the center for the Jaguars. GM James Gladstone confirmed Hunter will see more cornerback snaps after last season's data showed 66% of his pre-injury snaps came at receiver. The team drafted him first overall for his two-way versatility, but injuries and a crowded receiver room complicate his workload.

Ashton Jeanty's Year 2 outlook with the Raiders is bleaker. Las Vegas ranked 503rd in yards per offensive play in 2025, and Jeanty's 1.26 yards before contact placed him 734th among running backs since 2010. A new coach, coordinator, and quarterback haven't solved the problem. The Raiders tried addressing the line by giving center Tyler Linderbaum $81 million guaranteed, but the running game's failures are systemic.

For the Jaguars, letting Hunter develop primarily at corner makes sense. Receivers Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers filled in during his absence, and Washington has one year left on his deal. With tight end Nate Boerkircher adding two-TE packages, Hunter's offensive role should stay limited to protect his body. Jeanty's case shows how a talented back can't succeed in a broken system.
