The first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night was full of surprises. 

The Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off a massive trade to select Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders not being selected in the first round were two of the biggest ones. 

The Jaguars kicked off the night with a bang, executing an enormous trade to move up for Hunter. The Jaguars traded the No. 5 overall pick, their second-round pick, fourth-round pick, and 2026 first-round pick in exchange for the Cleveland Browns’ No. 2 overall pick, fourth-round pick, and their sixth-round pick.

The dynamic Hunter will be relied upon to be an immediate star for a Jaguars team that lacks star power. 

The New York Giants made a splash when they traded back into the first round with the Houston Texans to select Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss, instead of Sanders.

The Giants traded their second-round pick (No. 34 overall), one of their third-round picks (No. 99), and next year’s third-round pick to acquire the No. 25 overall pick and select Dart. 

Right after the Giants acquired the Texans’ pick, the Atlanta Falcons traded back into the first round as well. The Falcons traded their second-round pick (No. 46), seventh-round pick, and next year’s first-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for No. 26 overall and their third-round pick this year.
