For The Win
Shedeur Sanders might not be a lock for the top-three in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Seems like there are questions about how good the Colorado QB really is, but there’s potential there.
In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea, he’s got Sanders going to the Cleveland Browns at No. 2. And in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock, he had Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3. But in the latest mock draft from the ESPN legend, he has Sanders dropping all the way to No. 7, where the New York Jets just so happen to need a quarterback.
Why have Sanders drop so far? Here’s his take:
The Jets, however, might favor drafting a quarterback over trying another veteran. Because they are moving on from Aaron Rodgers, they could opt for the high-end accuracy and field vision of Sanders in an offense that has plenty of pieces already in place. In 2024, Sanders completed 74.0% of his passes, had 4,134 passing yards and threw 37 TDs. Those are all top-four numbers in the FBS.
Sanders would elevate this New York team that was near the bottom of the league in most passing metrics this past season and allow it to build around his rookie contract. The youthful combination of Sanders, receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall could do some damage. (By the way, Sanders won’t be throwing in Indianapolis this week as he sits out the workouts.)
Fascinating! Make sure to check out D’Andrea’s latest mock draft!
