Travis Hunter’s lock as the No. 2 pick in the draft points to Abdul Carter as the key to the Giants

Article arrow_drop_down

With the 2025 NFL Draft just over two weeks away, set for April 24 at historic Lambeau Field, the buzz surrounding top prospects Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter is reaching a fever pitch. Hunter, the Heisman-winning dual-threat star from Colorado, had a phenomenal year alongside quarterback Shedeur Sanders, even though the Buffaloes fell short of the playoffs. His ability to dominate at both cornerback and wide receiver makes him a rare talent, often called the best overall player in this draft class. In his last two seasons, Hunter had 153 catches for nearly 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Penn State’s Abdul Carter, a pass-rushing force who draws comparisons to Micah Parsons, led his team to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Despite skipping both the NFL Combine and Penn State’s Pro Day due to a foot issue, Carter’s on-field impact-12 sacks in 2024-and relentless motor has scouts convinced he’s a lock for the top three. Both are expected to hear their names called right after Miami’s Cam Ward, the projected No. 1 pick by the Tennessee Titans, who could become the 40th quarterback taken first overall in NFL Draft history out of 96 top selections.

Schefter’s Latest: Browns Leaning Toward Hunter

A recent video from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on the “Pat McAfee Show” has shifted the draft narrative, revealing that the Cleveland Browns may not select a quarterback with their No. 2 pick after all. Initially, many thought Cleveland would target a signal-caller to move on from the failed Deshaun Watson experiment – Watson has played just 19 games in three years and is sidelined for God knows how long with a torn Achilles tendon. But Schefter now reports that Travis Hunter is the likely choice at No. 2, a pivot that aligns with team evaluations that prioritize elite talent over positional need.

This past weekend, Deion Sanders, Hunter’s coach at Colorado, added fuel to the fire after a conversation with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam. “I think one of those guys is going to be there,” Sanders said, suggesting that either Hunter or Shedeur Sanders could end up in Cleveland. If the Browns go with Hunter, they’d get a game-changer who could shine at cornerback alongside Denzel Ward or add dynamism to their receiving corps alongside Jerry Jeudy.

If they go with Shedeur instead, he’d be competing with Kenny Pickett for the starting job – a high pick like that signals “starter,” especially given Pickett’s lackluster NFL track record. Meanwhile, the New York Giants could either grab Hunter at No. 3 to pair with Malik Nabers for an explosive offense, or bolster their defense with Carter to form a fearsome front with Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. For the Giants, it will most likely be one of those two, because even if Shedeur is great, you can’t pass on both Hunter and Carter.

Browns Hold the Draft’s Biggest Wild Card

The Browns are poised to shake up the draft in a big way. With the Titans seemingly locked in on Cam Ward at No. 1, Cleveland’s No. 2 pick becomes the first real “surprise” of the night. If they select Hunter, as Schefter suggests, it opens a Pandora’s box for the rest of the board. Shedeur Sanders, a top quarterback prospect, could slide, perhaps to the Giants at No. 3, though they’ve already signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, signaling they may not be desperate for a rookie QB. If New York passes, Sanders could fall further, perhaps to the New York Jets at No. 7, where he’d be competing with Justin Fields, or even to the New Orleans Saints at No. 9. The Saints have Derek Carr under new coach Kellen Moore, but his injury history and inconsistent play could lead them to take a chance on a young passer like Sanders. The Browns’ decision will set the tone for what promises to be a wild draft night.
