This at first glance appears to be a low early priority on draft weekend, with the Jaguars revamping the position throughout the 2025 season. What emerged by season’s end was a balanced, versatile receiving corps that helped the Jaguars become of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. Fourth-year veteran Parker Washington<\/a> caught 58 passes for 847 yards with five touchdowns, with third-year veteran Brian Thomas Jr.<\/a> catching 48 passes for 707 yards with two touchdowns and eight-year veteran Jakobi Meyers<\/a> in nine Jaguars games catching 42 passes for 483 yards with three touchdowns. Travis Hunter<\/a>, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, caught 28 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown while also playing extensively at cornerback. Possible draft-weekend storyline: Fourth or fifth receiver. With the Jaguars not re-signing veteran Tim Patrick, and with the extent of Hunter’s offensive role unknown, the Jaguars could address this position anywhere in the draft \u2013 with Rounds 3-5 seemingly likely.<\/p>\n
