Mandatory Credit: Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images

First-time GM Mike Borgonzi confessed last spring that his mind was made up months before the Tennessee Titans turned in a card with Cam Ward’s name on it as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

But how many teams behind him feel the same way about the pick they made in the top 10 last April?

Let’s investigate how 11 and a half months might have impacted hindsight in the ’25 draft. Here’s what the top 10 might look like if a re-do was possible.

Tennessee Titans Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Ward learned — and felt — about the pressure of being the true center of a long-term rebuild. He has the most upside of any of the quarterbacks from his draft class due to a flexible arm and great athleticism.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

A costly trade put the Jaguars in this spot instead of the Browns. Jacksonville swung from the fences and Heisman winner Travis Hunter served up an incomplete grade as a rookie. He ended the season on IR and never fully settled at wide receiver or cornerback. The Jaguars succeeded despite an offensive line that would’ve been far better with Membou in front of Trevor Lawrence, who found plenty of capable hands to throw to sans Hunter.

3. New York Giants: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Abdul Carter’s undeniable ceiling is greatness. His maturity, physically and emotionally, was a negative last season. Bringing in McMillan would mean Jaxson Dart would get another trusted wide receiver. A pairing with Malik Nabers would be dynamic given their skills in contested-catch situations.

New England Patriots: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas

Will Campbell didn’t end the season on a high note. Banks was comparable most of the year but by the end of the season, Banks was clearly closer to being a foundational pass blocker.

Cleveland Browns: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Graham was hell on wheels for interior linemen to account for as Myles Garrett stormed the pocket off the edge. He can create interior pressure and wasn’t easy to block one-on-one as a rookie.

Ashton Jeanty was a non-factor because the Raiders were always playing catchup and trying to do so with a suspect offensive line and shaky quarterback. Carter would have filled a traditional foundational need and provided some help in pass rush to benefit Maxx Crosby and a shaky secondary.

New York Jets: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Membou was a big hit, but he’s off the board in this exercise. Campbell was solid before tapering off near the end of the season but might’ve been better on the right side for the Jets.

Carolina Panthers: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

The Defensive Rookie of the Year talent at the LB position would have been a big hit with GM Dan Morgan, who was a similar type of player in his prime with Carolina.

9. New Orleans Saints: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Throughly thrilled with Banks as a rookie, if he was gone, the Saints might’ve looked at skill position talent. Or someone like Emmanwori to deploy in a defensive chess piece role. He lived in the box for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks.

Chicago Bears: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

What’s not to love? Loveland over Tyler Warren was one of the draft’s surprises in the top half of the first round. Warren did just fine with the Colts but Loveland was better.

Travis Hunter won’t be the NFL’s Shohei Ohtani after Jaguars’ position change <div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The position switch is understandable, but doesn’t change the fundamental reality facing the Jaguars: Travis Hunter could very well be a bust, and at best they grossly overpaid for a cornerback.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">We only got an extremely small sample size of Hunter at corner last season before he suffered a season-ending LCL tear in October, and he was … fine. Targeted 18 times in 101 snaps at cornerback, he allowed nine catches for 106 yards with 29 yards of YAC. Hunter looked much more comfortable playing corner than receiver when it came to the eye test, but the Jaguars tapered off his number of defensive snaps as the season went on, choosing to use him more as a receiver than a defensive back.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The lingering question for the Jaguars coaching staff is whether this focus on Hunter as a receiver was simply due to a sophomore slump from Brian Thomas Jr, or if they didn’t like what they were seeing from the rookie at DB?</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">There’s no question we need to recalibrate the expectations for Hunter moving forward. The idea of him being a starting corner and slot receiver are gone, now replaced with offensive usage on “obvious passing downs,” which could still see him put up numbers — but more likely means he’ll only see 5-to-7 offensive snaps per game. It also remains to be seen if Hunter can be an offensive asset in this role, or more of a liability — especially if opposing defenses can learn cues about the Jaguars’ passing attack simply by seeing Hunter enter the game.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">If the reality is that Hunter is simply the highest-drafted cornerback in NFL history, then there will be a <em>mountain</em> to climb to justify both the No. 2 overall pick, as well as the cost to trade up to get him. While far from a perfect analytic method, <a href="https://www.pff.com/news/why-travis-hunters-full-time-switch-to-cornerback-aligns-with-pff-grades">Pro Football Focus graded Hunter 73.2 on defense last year</a>, which would have made him the 22nd-ranked cornerback in the league last year. That’s simply not good enough moving forward, and Hunter will need to show Top-10 ability as a DB to make the pick worth it.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The whole conversation around Travis Hunter has now pivoted. Instead of being a generational, Deion Sanders-esque two-way player, we’re now needing to ratchet back in expectations and wonder if he’s trending closer to being a jack of all trades, master of none in the NFL. Offensively last season we saw a receiver who didn’t have the polish to take the top off NFL defenses, and at corner there was a mixed bag of success and failure.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Jacksonville figures to be a very good team in 2026 regardless of what happens with Travis Hunter. It remains to be seen though whether he can be an additive piece, or whether this could result in a massive misstep. There is a simple reality here that the Jaguars spent two picks to get a WR and CB in one player, when they could have sat at No. 5 last year, taken Tetairoa McMillan or Emeka Egbuka at WR, and then used this year’s pick to get a corner — potentially even make the trade for Trent McDuffie that the Rams did, offering better draft picks in the process.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Through that lens it’s impossible to see how the Travis Hunter move was worth it.</p></div> #Travis #Hunter #wont #NFLs #Shohei #Ohtani #Jaguars #position #change

Deadspin | MLB roundup: White Sox’s Braden Montgomery hits walk-off HR in debut  Jun 9, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA;  Chicago White Sox right fielder Braden Montgomery (24) yells as he approaches home plate after his walk off two run home run during the tenth inning against the Atlanta Braves at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images   Braden Montgomery belted a game-ending, two-run homer in the 10th inning in his major league debut to lift the host Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 victory against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.  Montgomery connected against Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (0-1) in the bottom of the 10th after Atlanta’s Mauricio Dubon hit a go-ahead single against Grant Taylor on the first pitch of the top half. Montgomery finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs, becoming the fifth player in major league history to hit a walk-off homer in his debut.  Miguel Vargas belted a two-run shot and Jacob Gonzalez had two hits and an RBI for the White Sox, who took their only lead on the final swing.  The Braves led 4-0 after their half of the third, largely on Matt Olson’s two homers. Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II added three hits apiece for Atlanta, which lost star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. to hamstring tightness while he was attempting to leg out an infield single.  Dodgers 12, Pirates 3  Freddie Freeman recorded his 2,500th career hit as part of Los Angeles’ 10-run seventh inning, and the Dodgers thrashed host Pittsburgh.
