Hunter was rated as the No. 1 overall player in the draft class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. He was the first non-quarterback selected in the draft and the Jaguars paid significant draft capital to move up and grab him in deal with the Cleveland Browns.

Hunter told reporters on Thursday night that his agent told him about the possibility of Jacksonville trading up last week.

The Cleveland Browns gave up the chance to select the two-way Heisman Trophy winner with the second overall selection.
