The Jaguars received pick No. 102 in the third round in addition to two third-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. One of the third-round picks will be a compensation third in 2026, the pick Detroit will receive after defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn was hired by the New York Jets this offseason .

Jacksonville had to wait a couple of hours after the second day began after sending their second-round pick (No. 36) to the Browns during the first day of the draft to move up to the second-overall pick. They entered the second day of the draft with two selections in the third round.
In addition to their second-round pick, the team gave up their first-round (5), fourth-round (126) and their 2026 first-round picks for a fourth-round pick (No. 104) and a sixth-round pick (No. 200) in addition to the second-overall pick to select Hunter.

Hunter was all smiles as he arrived in Jacksonville, flanked by general manager James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen. He reflected on the last time he was at EverBank Stadium, as a member of Jackson State, and said he was happy to be back in Duval.

Now, Ransaw and Milum will join Hunter as the first picks in the Coen and Gladstone era.
Wyatt Milum scouting report
Four-year starter at left tackle for West Virginia but projects best at guard due to his lack of length (32 5/8-inch arms). Athletic with powerful hands and the right mix of competitiveness and experience in run blocking. Will need to improve as a pass protector but has a high floor with lots of experience. — Aryton Ostly, USA TODAY Sports
How Wyatt Milum fits with the Jaguars
The team's left guard, Ezra Cleveland, is entering the second year of a three-year deal that included three void years on top of it. Cleveland's contract is not unbreakable in 2026, however, and his roster spot isn't guaranteed. The Jaguars signed right guard Patrick Mekari and followed up by signing center Robert Hainsey. Both players are slated to start at their respective positions. One would think Milum is not slated as a starter at this point.
