With the Jaguars’ three-day rookie minicamp scheduled to start Friday, they now have nine of their 10 picks under contract. The lone exception is their top choice, second-round tight end Nate Boerkircher.
The Buccaneers are in a similar situation to the Jaguars. Their second-rounder, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, is also unsigned. Meanwhile, Hurst has not officially put pen to paper, but that will change when he arrives for rookie camp on Friday. He has already agreed to terms, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Jaguars Land No. 191 From Patriots, Draft WR Josh Cameron
The Jaguars are making another Day 3 trade-up move, acquiring No. 191 from the Patriots. New England will acquire Nos. 196 and 245 from Jacksonville.
Baylor wide receiver Josh Cameron is heading to Jacksonville via this trade. This marks the third pass-catcher the Jags have selected during the event, joining tight ends Nate Boerkircher (second round) and Tanner Koziol (fifth round). Cameron will look to compete for a depth role in Jacksonville’s receiver room.
Jacksonville has Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington in position to remain key figures at the WR spot in 2026. Travis Hunter is also set to contribute on offense even if the team follows through with its plan of primarily using him as a cornerback. That will not leave much in the way of opportunities in the passing game for Cameron, but he could carve out a special teams role during training camp.
The 6-1, 220-pounder spent five years with Baylor, and his production took off beginning in 2024. Cameron caught 10 touchdown passes that season, adding another nine in 2025. He profiles as a red zone threat at the NFL level, with drops not viewed as a major concern. Further route-running refinement and better separation will be needed for Cameron to emerge as a regular on offense in the pros, however.
As things stand, the Jaguars own another sixth-round pick (No. 203). That will be followed by a trio of seventh-round selections on the part of general manager James Gladstone unless he winds up making any further trades.
