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 special participant, a minimum of with the No. 3 total choose.
Through the latest episode of his self-titled podcast, longtime NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay stated he believes the true 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 total. McShay believes the Cleveland Browns will then draft Travis Hunter, adopted by the Giants deciding on Abdul Carter at No. 3.
“Till I inform you 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, regardless that there are individuals within the Giants constructing which can 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 choose.
Sanders labored out for a contingent of Giants officers in Boulder, Colo., final week. There have been severe doubts about whether or not the quarterback shall be drafted by any staff within the prime 10, nonetheless.
One concept is that the Giants might have been trying to drum up trade interest in the third overall pick by displaying severe curiosity in Sanders. Or, New York is perhaps making ready for a situation the place it acquires an extra choose late within the first spherical if Sanders remains 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 might step in and make that call, however McShay says the staff’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.
