5 More NFL Scouts Eye Shedeur Sanders After Raiders Rumors Heat Up

NFL scouts better start hunting! The earlier you can analyze players, the better your chances of finding hidden gems. And a lot of them are in Colorado right now. Well, is it Travis Hunter? Or Shedeur Sanders? Of course, both are potential first-round prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. But the scouting seems to have picked up pace after the Buffs QB’s Las Vegas Raiders rumors. 

We Coming posted an interesting Colorado update on X on October 23. It included pictures of NFL scouts who visited Colorado at practice. As reported, there were two Houston Texans scouts, two Baltimore Ravens scouts, two New York Giants scouts as well as the Asst. GM, one from the New Orleans Saints, and one from the New York Jets to scout Colorado’s talents. 

Over the last months, Shedeur Sanders has topped several NFL mock drafts as the No. 1 QB and he still has a very realistic chance of being a top-4 QB off the board. Considering the teams that are visiting, the Giants and Jets are in dire need of an impactful QB. The Texans and Saints might also be searching for a new QB who can surpass the performances of their existing QBs. But the Ravens already have a strong QB in Lamar Jackson. 

An interesting thing to note is that the draft rumors resurfaced recently when NFL GOAT Tom Brady officially became a co-owner of the Raiders. The Buffs’ QB who shares a good student-mentor bond with Brady dropped a like in the announcement leaving many to wonder if this gesture shows his interest in the Raiders. The expectation for Shedeur Sanders at Las Vegas is another thing to ponder about. But what’s the experts’ opinion on the 2025 NFL Draft? 

Is Shedeur Sanders a projected first-round pick?

According to CBS Sports, the 2025 NFL Draft will be a stark difference from this year’s draft where quarterbacks were a priority pick for many NFL teams. Next year, however, will see more defensive players getting drafted in the first round. And as per the sports outlet prediction, only two quarterbacks will make it to the first round. 

CBS Sports predicts that Georgia’s EDGE Mykel Williams will be drafted as the No. 1 pick next year by the New England Patriots. Colorado’s ATH Travis Hunter is the potential top overall prospect who will go to the Carolina Panthers at No. 2. Next in the line is the first QB on the list – Miami’s Cam Ward projected to go to Cleveland. Shedeur Sanders is the second QB on the list coming at No. 8 after four defensive players, and his projected team is the Raiders. Do you have your opinions on the 2025 NFL Draft? Share them with us.
