Jaguars Draft Milum, Ransaw, Tuten in 2025

The Jacksonville Jaguars made several notable moves in the 2025 NFL Draft, trading up with the Houston Texans to select West Virginia offensive lineman Wyatt Milum with the 89th pick; Milum, a consensus All-American and 2024 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, started 43 of 47 games at WVU and did not allow a sack in his final two seasons, and is expected to move from tackle to guard. With the 88th pick, the Jaguars chose Tulane defensive back Caleb Ransaw, who impressed during the draft process and at the Senior Bowl. On the draft's third day, Jacksonville selected Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten in the fourth round after he rushed for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. These draft choices reflect the team's strategy under new head coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone to bolster protection for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and add versatile talent on both sides of the ball. Analysts see these moves as positive steps for the franchise's future. Additionally, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' unexpected slide in the draft was a major storyline of the event.
