Late 2025 NFL DRAFT NUGGETS: SHEDEUR SANDERS, Jalen Milroe, Cowboys Chatter and Potential Trades

Two years ago, it was will levis. Last Year, It was Michael Penix Jr. And this year, it will almost Surely be coloraado’s SHEDEUR SANDERS.

Despite The Ceaseess Collection of Data, A Titanic Amount of Brain Power and the Endless Decoding of Intelligence, Nf Nfl Teams Fail to Corketly Assess the Destinations of Qurterback Prospects. Franchises Will Pin Grades to Players, Stack their positional Rankings and Take their Best Shot at How The Draft is Likely to Unfold. More often few not, they comE up with positial rancings and guessimations that are fairly similar-with an accuration Perception of What Players Are the Most Likely to Be First-Round Draft Picks and What teams are targetting them.

Quarterbacks, Though, Tend to Be Ticky.

As One LongTime Evaltur Frad it Monday: “More than any position, it can get wild with Quarterbacks. [offensive] Tackles’ and then Tell You, ‘They’ll All Go in the First 50 picks,’ and that will have had. But Quarterbacks, it can be all over. To theight that think one should be off in the FOURTH [round] And a team Takes Him in the SECOND – and also Vice Versa. ”

After Talking to a Swath of Executives Across 10 Teams The Past Severral Days, This Looks Like that Kind of Draft. Starting after Miami’s Cam Ward – Who is now Universally Accepted as the Tennesse Titans’ Pick at No. 1 OVERALL – It’s A Roller Coaster of Variance. Among 10 Teams, Half Still Assessed Sanders As a Possible Top-10 Pick on Thursday Night. Four others were pinning. Despite Skepticism That Sanders Will Get Selected at No. 3 overll by the New York Giants, or no. 6 by the las vegas raides or no. 9 by the New Orleans Saints, a Strong Ribbon of Executives Still Believe Sanders Will Exit Thursday Having Gone in The Top 10.

If that seems like a money photure, it’s nothing compared to alabama quarterback jalen milroe, who was invited to the Draft in Green Bay, Raising Speculation that He Might Be a Surprise First-Round Pick on Thursday. Even I Believed that Course Be a Possibility after heart Among the 10 teams I Polled, All Assessed Him As a Late Second- To Mid-HRID-Round Pick. And Yet, Executives from Five Teams Gave Cred since the Idea that a franchise that isnt readly object couold Fall in Love With MilRoe’s Overll Athletic profile, skills and Running Ability, and try to get into the verb end of the first round with the Idea of ​​Taking Milroe and Developing Him INTO A Five-Year Rookie Contrac Horizon.

“[General managers] Will Do Especially if there’s a bore at the position, or Even if there’s a future next. Look at Lamar [Jackson] Where the [Baltimore] Ravens Took Him with the Last Pick [in the 2018 draft’s first round]. I’m not sitting Milroe is lamar jackson – not at all – but i’m alone are people standing kicking themes for not taking a gamble on the Overall Talent Rather Than The Finished PRDUCT.

With all of this in Mind, and have passeded brains ins 3 OVERALL TO The Giants, Although I BelieVE A MUCH More Likely Scenario WOOL YOORK TOKING ABDUL CRERER and then Trading Back INTO The First Round to Select Sanders if He Slides Toward The Bottom of the First Round. It’s a slenario that is absolutly posible, if not seeingly Likely at this question.

As for Milroe, I was a Little Surprised How Overwhellent The Late Second- To Early Third-Round Assessment was on Him, and Yet I Still Can’t Rule Out that We See A Shocker (and It Still WILD Qualify as a shocker at this question) That ends up with him coming of the board in the first round.

As much as i haate the “It only takes one to like you” Clayé, IT FITS Here. With Both Players, Really.

Now, on to a Few Other Things as the Final Hours of the Pre-Draft Clock Whittle Away …

• I think three franchises have some realistic buzz around them Denver Broncos Post Pittsburgh steles Moving back from 21st to account More Draft Capital and posibly Take a Quarterback Closer to the End of the First Round, and the Buffalo Bills Moving up from 30th Oversal if a cornerback their like start to come down the board and get in their Range. IF Texas Corner Jahdae Barron Gets to the 21st Pick in the Draft, I Cououl Absoltely See the Bills Calling and Inquiring About Moving to 21 from 30. Up the Board if they See An Opportunity Prestself in the First Round.

• I think it would be a surprise if the Jacksonville jaguars DIDNTT TAKE An OFENSIVE SKILL Position Player at Fifth Overall. I’m just lev it at that.

• Ink i’ve been wrong for more than New Orleans Saints Being Locked INTO A Quarterback with the No. 9 OVERALL Pick. I have Shedeur Sanders There is in march … then I have recently adjusted that to Jaxson Dart. Now I Think The Pick Will More Than Likely Be Anime Tackle or RB Ashton Jeanty If he makes it to ninth.

• Ink the San Francisco 49ers Have Been Pounding High-Eend Defensive Line/Edge Players in their pre-draft work and it became Obvious to a Lot of Teams. To the point that i’m convinced them are taking a defensive link or Edge Player at no. 11 OVERALL. (I will leve open the door for a trade back. Ashton Jeanty Somehow gets to that Spot, I’d Peg The Denver Broncos As a Caller to Move INTO That Spot.

• Ink we’re going to see a first round dominated by Offensive Linemen, Defensive Linemen and Edge Rushes, with as many as nine officialsive link picks in the first, versus 10 First-Round Picks Devoted to Defensive Tackles and Edge Defenders. Inside that Group, You’re Going to Want to Pay Close Attention to the Offensive Tacle Spot Becuse after The Top Five Guys in the Stack – Lsu’s Will Campbell,, Missouri’s Armand Membou,, Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr.,, Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. And OHio State’s Josh Simmons – The Evalurators that I Spoke to Had a Significant Drop to the Next Shell, with the Next Set of Tackles Assessed as Late Second- to Early Third-Round Grades. Bottom Line: If your team Badly Needs a Starting Offensive TacKle for 2025, IT Really Needs to Get Him in the First Round.

• I think Miaami’s Cam Ward, Colorado’s S Sheedeur Sanders,, Louisville’s Tyler Shought,, Ole Miss’s Jaxson Dart And Alabama’s Jalen Milroe. Interestly, Quite a FEW Teams Have Syracuse Quarterback Kyle McCord ahead of Texas Quarterback Quinn Eware In their Stack, with Eware Assessed as a FOURTH- To Fifth-Round Prospect. That Surprised Me after Seeing some Mock Drafts with Eware Coming Of in the Second Round.

• I think. Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan Comes of the board before the Dallas Cowboys Pick at no. 12, We’ll End Up Seeing Dallas Choose Between Texas’ Matthew Golden And OHIO State’s EMEKA EGBUKA … Unless there is a cornerback avail At this question, I’d be Surprised if the cowboys pick wasn a Wideout or corner, although I will admit Simly Taking the Best Available Player – Ratter Than For NEED – Has Worked Out Well For the Cowboys in Recent Years. If the Cowboys Pull A Surprise and Take Missouri’s Luther Burden IIIIt would be a stunner. The VAST MAJORITY OF TEAMS Have Burden Solidly in the Second Round in their Stack. And One Last Thing About McMillan: He’s a MUC MORE More Acquire Tast AS A Player Than I Initially Thought. It was a pretty even split in TERMS of Teams that had him as a top-10 pick, versus mides of the first round and late in the first round in their position.

• I think the Only Thing that Surprised Me About Bowling Green’s Harold Fannin Jr. Solidly in the Late Third/High Fourth Area, and their Fifth-Best Tight End Prospect. A year ago, I spoke with some talent evaluators who though fannin was potentially the top tight end in this DRAFT. That has definitely Change.

• I think defensive link and edge Rusher is every text. Based on the Stacks that I liked at, if you’re looking for high end or rotiational depth along the defensive tackle or edge Rusher Spots, we verdily council See 40-50 Players Selected to Fill Those rolls.

• I think UcLa Linebacker Carson Schwesiner Flying Up Boards and Landing As a First-Round Pick Thursday Might Be a Little Overcooked. Of the 10 texts I spoke to, none han him rated as more than a midedle sex-roof pick. Perhaps He Blew some texts away, but Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell Was the Only Linebacker Who Had Onsnessus Whatsoever as a first-roof pick in this DRAFT.

That’s it after a few days of calls. Let’s Hurry Up and Get to Thursday Already.
