The 2025 NFL Draft is set to change the lives of hundreds of football players. There isn’t much that’s set in stone in regard to what’s going to happen. The only pick that appears to be a sure thing is the Tennessee Titans taking Cam Ward with the first overall pick. But even starting with the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, anything can happen. The range of outcomes for that pick seems very broad, with Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter being the considerations if the Browns stay and pick there.
There was a time where Shedeur Sanders was a favorite to be the Browns’ selection at No. 2, but that is no longer the case. In fact, there are murmurs that Sanders could fall out of the first round. The pre-draft process has not been kind to Sanders, as his on-field ability has been picked apart and his character and personality has been questioned extensively. Some would say it’s gone too far. For NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt, it has gotten out of control.
He will remember! Shedeur Sanders fires back at NFL teams favoring Cam Ward at the Draft
Kyle Brandt tells Shedeur Sanders’ haters to “shut up”
Appearing on Good Morning Football, Brandt took a flamethrower to Sanders’ critics, particularly one “anonymous NFL assistant coach” who had a scathing assessment of Sanders. Brandt was “triggered as hell” by the comments and came out to strongly defend Sanders.
Brandt was perturbed by a coach hiding behind the anonymous tag and delivering “tasteless” comments. He believes the coach was using hyperbole by calling Sanders’ interview the worst he’s ever been a part of. And he was particularly upset by the timing of the quote coming out, mere days before the draft begins.
Sanders may not be a perfect prospect, but there has been nothing but negative news surrounding him in the recent leadup to the draft. There’s a bit of shadiness about it all.

NFL Draft Day 2 winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders down, Tyler Shough (and his dog) up
While the quarterback-needy Pittsburgh Steelers wait for word from Aaron Rodgers, they’ve made one thing clear: They’re not ready to jump into the Shedeur Sanders business. Not yet, at least.And they’re not alone.Three rounds into the 2025 NFL Draft, no team is.One hundred and two selections have been made, and Sanders, a borderline first-round prospect and considered as recently as February to be in the running with Miami’s Cam Ward as the first quarterback off the board, is somehow still waiting. Sanders watched three more quarterbacks — Louisville’s Tyler Shough (No. 40 to New Orleans), Alabama’s Jalen Milroe (No. 92 to Seattle) and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel (No. 94 to Cleveland) — go ahead of him in Friday’s second and third rounds.AdvertisementWith Ward and Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart going in Thursday’s first round, that means five QBs have heard their names before […]

NFL Draft best available players for New York Jets: Billy Bowman, Elic Ayomanor
The first draft of the Aaron Glenn-Darren Mougey era began with an athletic right tackle in Missouri’s Armand Membou. On Day 2, they upgraded the tight end room with LSU’s Mason Taylor and got an intriguing developmental cornerback in Florida State’s Azareye’h Thomas.The Jets have five more picks to work with on Day 3 of the draft, where could the Jets look next? Here’s a rundown of the prospects that would make some sense Friday and Saturday (prospects are listed in overall rank order according to The Beast)…Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (No. 2 QB, No. 34 overall): At this point, the value has become difficult to ignore. The Jets didn’t have any interest in drafting him in the first three rounds, but what about on Day 3? The Jets believe in Justin Fields, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be […]
