Jaguars Reportedly Eye Tet McMillan at No. 5 amid Ashton Jeanty, Mason Graham Rumors

Even though Mason Graham to the Jacksonville Jaguars has been arguably the most popular pick in mocks leading up to the 2025 NFL draft, the team appears to be taking a hard look at some players who could boost their offense.

On the latest episode of The McShay Show (starts at 8:00 mark), Todd McShay said the Jaguars are seriously interested in Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to give Trevor Lawrence another outside playmaker.

McShay noted the theory behind the pick is that dating back to his time at Clemson, Lawrence thrived when he had bigger wideouts with a high catch radius like Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross.

The McMillan rumors come amid increasing chatter that Jacksonville is in the mix for Ashton Jeanty. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on Monday's episode of NFL Live that the Jaguars are considered a "sleeper" landing spot for the Boise State star.

Jeanty, who's coming off a historic 2024 season at Boise State, is in the running for everyone's favorite player in this year's class. His widely circulated letter to NFL general managers on The Players' Tribune website had a perfect mic drop at the end:

"I’ve taken the long way. I’m done with that way. If you pick me, it’s simple: I’m coming to your franchise to do what Saquon and the Eagles just did. I’m coming to win, big, soon. It’s TACKLE football … you know what I’m saying? I’d draft the guy they can’t tackle."

B/R's NFL scouting department is projecting Graham to be the Jaguars' pick, but there's no reason why they should be locked in on any one player given all of the needs on their roster.

Graham would absolutely be a fit because the Jaguars defense tied for 31st in yards allowed per play (5.9) and ranked 28th in sack percentage (2.0). He could be plugged into their defensive line as an impact player against the run and pass.

Jeanty would also immediately slot in as a starter. Travis Etienne Jr. is coming off the worst season of his career with 812 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns.

Schefter has listed Etienne among a number of players on rookie contracts who could be traded during the draft, which would at least suggest Jacksonville will add to its backfield at some point.

The Jaguars hit a home run in the first round last year with Brian Thomas Jr. He led the team with 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, but receiver is still a need for them because the production behind him was nonexistent.

Tight end Brenton Strange was Jacksonville's second-leading receiver. He had 411 yards and two touchdowns.

Putting McMillian on the outside with Thomas would give Lawrence two reliable pass-catchers. They are both big targets, as McMillian is 6'4" and Thomas is 6'3".

New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen came from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had a pair of dynamic receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Everything the Jaguars do right now has to be about maximizing Lawrence's talent. Adding a skill-position player with high upside early in the first round could be a huge lift for the offense in 2025.
