James Gladstone must want to prove to Les Snead that he can make even bigger draft trades as a general manager than his mentor has ever done with the Los Angeles Rams. In one of the most unbelievable draft day trades in NFL history, Gladstone traded the fifth overall pick, a second round pick, a fourth round pick, and Jacksonville’s 2026 first round picks to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the second overall pick.
The Jaguars GM then used that pick to select Travis Hunter, an extraordinary one-of-a-kind prospect who plays both wide receiver and cornerback at a high level, with the second overall choice.
