Latest league news, rumors ahead of Friday’s Rounds 2-3

With the mud now settling after an eventful Spherical 1, one of many greatest conversations coming into Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft is the place Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders will land.

Sanders, broadly considered as one of many prime quarterbacks within the 2025 class, was not chosen inside the first 32 picks, leaving many to surprise what occurred with a participant constantly projected as a first-rounder in mock drafts.

NFL Community Insider Tom Pelissero defined Friday on Good Morning Soccer why the event wasn’t fully shocking, given the panorama of groups searching for a QB and the kind of signal-caller some need to lead the franchise.

“I think that where we fall short at times, as the media, is allowing certain things to get ahead of what people within the NFL actually see,” Pelissero stated. “When you discuss to scouts and coaches across the NFL, there was one man on this draft who was a surefire beginning quarterback, when it comes to profile, and that was Cam Ward. The remainder of them — Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, who goes to the Giants after they commerce up (to No. 25), Jalen Milroe, Tyler Shough — they’re all someplace in that first-, second-round border sort of situation.

“For the Giants, they like Jaxson Dart’s athletic ability, they like his size, they like the fact that they can run the football with him, run RPOs and read options, which really isn’t Shedeur Sanders’ game. With Shedeur, you gotta have a really clear vision. You gotta believe that he’s gonna be able to adjust his game, at least somewhat, from what he did at the college level to the NFL, in terms of getting the ball out faster, not taking as many sacks, being more efficient as a quarterback. And when there’s only so many teams that are even in the first-round quarterback market, you can say, ‘Yeah, he’s sliding,’ but is it actually a slide?”
