The New York Giants have proven curiosity in Shedeur Sanders main as much as the 2025 NFL Draft, however all indicators level to them deciding on a unique participant, at the least with the No. 3 general decide.
Through the latest episode of his self-titled podcast, longtime NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay stated he believes the actual draft will begin this yr when the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock at No. 5. That’s as a result of he thinks the primary 4 groups have already made up their minds.
The Tennessee Titans are a lock to take Cam Ward first general. McShay believes the Cleveland Browns will then draft Travis Hunter, adopted by the Giants deciding on Abdul Carter at No. 3.
“Till I let you know or perhaps Schefter breaks it or one thing else, all the data I’m getting — and it’s from trusted sources — is that it’s gonna wind up being Abdul Carter at No. 3, despite the fact that there are folks within the Giants constructing which might be pushing for Shedeur Sanders,” McShay stated.
The New England Patriots are broadly anticipated to draft former LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell with the fourth decide.
Sanders labored out for a contingent of Giants officers in Boulder, Colo., final week. There have been critical doubts about whether or not the quarterback might be drafted by any workforce within the prime 10, nevertheless.
One concept is that the Giants could have been trying to drum up trade interest in the third overall pick by exhibiting critical curiosity in Sanders. Or, New York may be getting ready for a situation the place it acquires an extra decide late within the first spherical if Sanders continues to be on the board.
Both means, it could be a shock if the Giants took Sanders at No. 3. There’s all the time an opportunity that possession may step in and make that call, however McShay says the workforce’s teaching workers doesn’t need Sanders at that spot.
If the Giants move on Sanders as anticipated, they might target a different quarterback later in the draft.
