5 biggest questions ahead of 2025 NFL Draft: What will Browns, Giants, Saints do?

With the 2025 NFL Draft fast approaching, intrigue continues to mount.

No pick in the first round has been traded to this point, which would be a first since the NFL merger if that holds. That, at least in part, speaks to the perception of this year's quarterback class and a dearth of prospects that franchises view as being true first-round players.

Ahead of a fascinating draft, which begins next Thursday, here are five of the biggest questions facing the league:

Who is going to take Shedeur Sanders ?

The most polarizing player in this year’s draft, Sanders’ projections are truly all over the place. In recent weeks, he’s been mocked as high as No. 2 overall and as low as the 20s. Some league observers have even speculated that Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart, widely viewed as the No. 3 passer in this year’s draft class, could be selected ahead of Sanders.

All eyes are on the New York Giants, who are holding a private workout for Sanders this week, according to FOX Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. If they pass on him at No. 3, quarterback-needy teams could pursue a trade up to get ahead of the New Orleans Saints, who hold the No. 9 pick. The Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6) have a starting quarterback in place (Geno Smith), but they can’t be 100 percent ruled out for Sanders either.

If Sanders gets past the Saints at 9, there’s a path where he tumbles into the 20s, where teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 21) or Los Angeles Rams (No. 26) could look to snatch him, or by a team trading up into the back half of Round 1.
