I know nobody likes taking RBs in the first but I think the best thing that could happen to this offense and to help Trevor is get a dominant run game.  Not only would it help Trevor but it would help BTJ, Kirk, Engram, and Davis while defenses stack the box.  I think Jeanty is the best RB since Barkely.  With McCaffrey stacking up injuries and getting older, Henry getting up there, and Chubbs injuries, I think Jeanty could be the best RB in the league in his first year with a dominant run blocking oline.  Sign Drew Dalmon who is a top 5 run blocking center and try to sign Trey Smith.  If we can't get Smith draft the best run blocking guard in the 2nd.  I'd love this honestly and I think this would be the best thing that could happen to this offense, better than bringing in a 2nd WR opposite BTJ.

Uhm..the Jags have 2 third round picks and 2 fourth round picks.    9 picks in total.   Are those still your first 6 picks?  RG is obviously a huge need...and Trey would be a nice try, but the Jags need to invest one of their first 2 picks on an interior Olineman.   

They have six picks in the first 4 rounds.   They can get beef somewhere in there, and still grab a CB and WR.

If they want a RB, I'd rather they run with Tank, and go after Najee Harris to back him up.

Those names above are all 1st RD, top 5 - 10 prospects. I think he's just talking about our top pick board wise there. To stay on your point though. This is ideal for me with just those selections in mind, ran this with NFL Mock Draft Database Simulator:

4th overall - Travis Hunter - CB - Colorado
35th overall - Wyatt Milum - LT - West Virginia 
71st overall - Tate Ratledge - RG - Georgia
92nd overall - Kevin Winston Jr. - S - Penn State
107th overall - Jake Majors - C - Texas
129th overall - Jayden Higgins - WR - Iowa State

This hits immediate needs and notes in my opinion that this team needs in 2025. Hunter and Winston Jr. immediately upgrade our secondary. Milum, Ratledge and Majors are all starting caliber lineman on day one. I know we just signed Walker Little at LT, but, they can figure something out. I am not passing up on Milum if he's there staring at me the top of RD2. That seems criminal. Higgins at 129th overall feels like I am just stealing candy from a baby at this point. Good size, solid speed, would be a fun WR to compliment BTJ next year and he's been consistent with splash plays over the last two years for the Cyclones.
