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 distinct participant, no less than with the No. 3 total decide.
Throughout 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, though there are folks within the Giants constructing which can be pushing for Shedeur Sanders,” McShay stated.
The New England Patriots are extensively 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 probably be drafted by any staff within the high 10, nevertheless.
One concept is that the Giants might have been trying to drum up trade interest in the third overall pick by exhibiting severe curiosity in Sanders. Or, New York may be getting ready for a state of affairs the place it acquires an extra decide late within the first spherical if Sanders continues to be on the board.
Both approach, it could be a shock if the Giants took Sanders at No. 3. There may be all the time an opportunity that possession may step in and make that call, however McShay says the staff’s teaching workers doesn’t need Sanders at that spot.
If the Giants cross on Sanders as anticipated, they might target a different quarterback later in the draft.
