The New York Giants passed on the former Colorado quarterback twice, including with the No. 3 and the No. 25 pick in the NFL Draft Thursday night. Four other quarterback-needy teams — Las Vegas (at No. 6), the New York Jets (No. 7), New Orleans (No. 9) and Pittsburgh (No. 21) — also opted not to select Sanders.
The Giants looked like they might grab Sanders when they traded back into the first round, sending three picks to Houston for the 25th overall selection, but they chose Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart over Sanders.
So how far will Sanders fall?

The second round begins on Friday with the Cleveland Browns selecting first, then the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, before the Browns pick again with the fourth overall pick of the second round. The Titans selected Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday and the Texans have a star quarterback in C.J. Stroud, so neither has a need for Sanders.
If the Browns don’t select Sanders with their first pick, another team may swap spots with the Texans or Titans. If the Browns don’t select him with their second pick, he could fall to the New Orleans Saints (40th overall), the New York Jets (42nd overall) or the Los Angeles Rams (46th overall).
Concerns about Sanders’ arm strength have become an issue in recent weeks, although his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado coach Deion Sanders, laughed at that notion. In 50 collegiate games, Shedeur Sanders threw for 14,347 yards, with 134 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He completed 70.1% of his passes and ran for 17 more scores.

The run from “starting franchise quarterback” to “benched bust” to “rejuvenated savior” is a solid arc over an entire career; Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold both reached Station 3 last year. Over in Carolina, though, Bryce Young sped-run through all the stations in just one season. After Thursday night’s first round of the draft, it’s clear that the Panthers are tripling down on Young’s potential, yet another bounce in the NFL’s most pinballing quarterback career.With the eighth pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona. McMillan himself is a defensible, potentially exceptional pick. He projects as a WR1, and Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald gave the Panthers a B for adding McMillan’s “depth and starting talent” to the roster. The pick apparently incensed the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, who wanted the receiver at No. […]
