The New York Giants have proven curiosity in Shedeur Sanders main as much as the 2025 NFL Draft, however all indicators level to them choosing a unique participant, not less than with the No. 3 total decide.
Throughout the latest episode of his self-titled podcast, longtime NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay mentioned he believes the true draft will begin this 12 months 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 choosing Abdul Carter at No. 3.
“Till I inform you or possibly Schefter breaks it or one thing else, all the knowledge I’m getting — and it’s from trusted sources — is that it’s gonna wind up being Abdul Carter at No. 3, though there are folks within the Giants constructing which are pushing for Shedeur Sanders,” McShay mentioned.
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 severe doubts about whether or not the quarterback will likely be drafted by any group within the high 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 may be getting ready for a situation the place it acquires an extra decide late within the first spherical if Sanders remains to be on the board.
Both method, it will 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 group’s teaching employees doesn’t need Sanders at that spot.
If the Giants go on Sanders as anticipated, they might target a different quarterback later in the draft.
