Mon Apr 21 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## NFL Draft 2025: Shedeur Sanders’ Private Workout Fuels Speculation, Draft Uncertainty Reigns
**Green Bay, WI** – With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, the biggest question remains the destination of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. His private workout with the New York Giants has intensified speculation, although the Giants have previously held similar workouts with other top quarterbacks. While the Giants hold the No. 3 pick, there’s reportedly internal disagreement about drafting Sanders, and they could trade back into the first round if they miss out on him early.
Other teams are also in the mix. The New Orleans Saints, despite their long history of avoiding first-round quarterbacks, are rumored to be more interested in Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Pittsburgh Steelers, initially not planning to draft a quarterback in the first round, are now considering all options if Sanders falls to them at pick No. 21.
The draft’s overall uncertainty extends beyond Sanders. Multiple teams reportedly lack a first-round grade on any quarterbacks, with some believing only one or two will be selected in the first round. This could lead to a more active second and third round for quarterbacks. The lack of elite offensive tackles and cornerbacks further contributes to the unpredictability.
Several other storylines are developing:
* **Kirk Cousins’ Future:** The Atlanta Falcons, publicly denying interest in trading quarterback Kirk Cousins, have privately explored options, demanding a significant portion of his remaining contract be absorbed by any acquiring team.
* **Trading Up/Down:** While there’s been little movement on first-round trades so far, the Steelers, Jaguars, Panthers, 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Buccaneers, and Vikings are among those interested in moving back. The Broncos have expressed interest in moving up.
* **Other Top Prospects:** The draft features several other intriguing players who could be drafted higher than projected, including Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou, and Texas players Kelvin Banks Jr. and Jahdae Barron.
* **Day 2 Surprises:** The wide receiver class in rounds 2 and 3 is deep, with a potential run on players similar to last year’s second-day surge. Running back Ashton Jeanty is another player who could be drafted significantly higher than anticipated.
* **Active Teams:** The Texans, known for their draft-day trading activity, are expected to be highly involved. The Eagles, with numerous picks, also hold significant trading power.
The 2025 NFL Draft, taking place in Green Bay for the first time in over 85 years, promises to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory. The lack of clear-cut top prospects, combined with teams’ varied needs and strategies, sets the stage for a thrilling and potentially surprising three days.
