NFL Trade Rumors
Senior Bowl week is here. We’re in Day 2 of the practices, with plenty more clips and reports to come the remainder of this week. The Shrine Bowl was last week, and in a month, the NFL will descend on Indianapolis for the Combine. It’s fair to say draft season is starting to heat up, and with that, I’ve been doing final film evaluations and updating my position rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Today brings the much-anticipated quarterback rankings, and while I’ve talked up the strength of this draft class in general, this group is not the reason why. It’s well-known at this point that we have a weaker quarterback class, although there are still two or three candidates to go in the first round.

If you want to see how these rankings compare to how I ranked this class over the summer, check out the link below. Additionally, my other updated rankings can be found below as well. As always, stay tuned for more 2025 draft content, as I’ll be looking to update all my position rankings over the next few weeks.

The poise and feel Sanders has in his game is exceptional. He processes the game at an extremely high level, making complex reads and taking on a lot of pre-snap responsibility for a college quarterback. It’s no surprise that he’s a coach’s son, and you can tell Sanders grew up around the game. Sanders combines the mental side of the game with the physical — his release is stable and consistent, and he maintains his throwing platform even under immense pressure. This leads to his stellar accuracy, with a 74-percent completion rate as a senior. It’s really hard to rattle him, and he’ll keep making plays no matter the situation around him.
When Sanders wants to make a throw, he makes it. His throwing mechanics are buttery smooth and lightning fast, rifling...
