With only a few hours before the biggest NFL intersane event, the questions abound concerning even the elite players in the table. Before all the action kicks, here are the five largest questions entering the NFL 2025 draft.
Application promotion project
Who will take SheDer Sanders?
Taking into account his band, statistics and famous fatherQuarter de Colorado Sheder Sanders is one of the most polarizing players in the NFL 2025 draft. Although he is considered one of the best quarters available, there are questions about If his game – And His personality – will result in the NFL.
At the start of the project process, it seemed that Sanders was a lock to select in the top-5, but in the days preceding the event, Sanders fell into simulated drafts, with some pronosticators drop Sanders from the first round entirely.

Will this be the case on Thursday evening?
Several teams could use Sanders' services. The Giants of Cleveland and New York, who choose n ° 2 and n ° 3 respectively, could use a promising young person. The Saints of New Orleans, especially after Derek Carr's injuries, also need new blood to position. They hold the choice n ° 9, putting them downright in the territory of Sanders.
If all these teams decide to go with other players early, the Pittsburgh Steelers could immerse themselves and hang Sanders at No. 21. Negotiations with a veteran Aaron Rodgers I have not yet resulted in a contract, and the other Steelers options behind Rodgers are not exactly encouraging.

Sanders would meet an immediate need for Pittsburgh. He would also land in a stable environment with a holder coach, solid position players and excellent defense. Sanders at Pittsburgh could be the best case for all parties involved.

That said, it takes only one team to explode each simulation. Given the height of the quarters, it would not be surprising to see a mystery team grasp the Sanders early or exchange to acquire its services.
No one expected the Falcons of Atlanta to take Michael Penix Jr. Last year at n ° 8. Sanders could be involved in an equally shocking moment this time?
How many trades will we see in the first round?
With the project almost here, there is apparently much more commercial chatter than normal. Denver Broncos could to exchange At n ° 20 if Sanders is still on the board, the Jacksonville jaguars could to exchange at n ° 2 and the saints could exchange to acquire more choices then to exchange To obtain a quarter of the turn 1.

These are only rumors for the moment, and it is worth asking how much fans can trust all the information fleeing before the project. NFL leaders fueling these rumors with journalists have a program. This is quite the challenge of analyzing what is true and what is a smoke screen.
But at least one director general said publicly that he thought things could become “wild” on Thursday evening. Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pomes said he was expecting much more movement than usual in the first round.
The Bears are among the teams involved in commercial rumors, some specifying that the team wants to exchange To take the wearer of a wooden wooden balloon Ashon Jeanty. Maybe the posts dropped clues to his team's strategy on Thursday. Or maybe he has the feeling that several teams will take great strides in the first night of the draft.

Ashton Jeanty and other RBs will define the draft of the NFL 2025?
Speaking of Jeanty, the wooden star star should be the jewel of the crown of an exceptional harvest of runners in the draft of the NFL 2025. Jeanty is considered a real manufacturer of difference to the position and makes comparisons with the Ladainian Tomlinson and the Holmes priest. No pressure, recruit.

For a position that many were ready to tumble, the ball carrier experienced all the resurgence in 2024. Saquon Barkley turned out to be the missing piece for the Eagles of Philadelphia, leading them to a championship of his first year with the team. Derrick Henry transformed the Ravens offensive of Baltimore, transforming it into an even stronger mastodon under Lamar Jackson.
The success of Barkley and Henry could push the teams to runners earlier than they have passed in the draft in recent years. It may not be a bad strategy, because the harvesting of this year's runners is among the strongest that the project has seen for some time.
Behind Jeanty, there are eight other runners listed in the top-66 on Yahoo Sports' Big Board of consensus. Fans could see about nine different runners chosen during the first two rounds of the NFL 2025 draft, which could have a big impact as recruits.
North Carolina Star Omarion Hampton is the only ball carrier in addition to Jeanty to be listed as a first -round talent on the large board of Yahoo Sports. Iowa Kaleb JohnsonOhio State Quinshon JudkinsKansas' Devin NealOhio State Treveyon HendersonMiami Damien MartinezDylan Sampson of Tennessee and the state of Arizona Cam Tax Bo are the other seven runners who could be taken at the end of the second round.

Barkley and Henry may have started the resurgence of the ball carrier, but if the 2025 class is as good as they are announced, it will be them to make sure he is there to stay.
Will Travis Hunter revolutionize the NFL?
The Bidirectional Star of Colorado Travis Hunter should not wait too long to hear his name entitled Thursday evening. Hunter – that many consider the best player in the draft – should be the second name in the table. The Browns, which currently have the n ° 2 choice, seem perfectly satisfied hunter Once on the clock. But if another team makes Cleveland an offer that he cannot refuse, we assume that the team will take Hunter.
There are many reasons why Hunter is so coveted this year, although two of them really stand out. Hunter is not only like an elite broader receiver, but it could also be the best corner half available in the NFL 2025 draft.

Hunter played the two positions in Colorado and intended to Continue to play both positions in the NFL. Although it was done before, it is A rare featAnd no player has ever tried to play both roles as Hunter desires.
DEION SANDERS – Hunter's head coach in Colorado – is the most recent example of a player who tried to play in both directions in the NFL. While Sanders saw time on attack and defense during his career, he only spent a year regularly playing both. If Sanders, who was athletic enough to also play baseball during the NFL off-season, had trouble balanced the two roles of the NFL, can Hunter really remove it?
No one really knows the answer to this question, but Hunter wants to give him a chance. Given the value he could bring to a team, Hunter will probably play in both directions as a recruit. If it turns out to be too difficult, he could still carve a career of the NFL as an elite one -way talent.
But if Hunter turns out to be a unicorn that breaks the mold … Well, it incredibly worked for Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It is the ultimate increase with a player like Hunter.

Will Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins find new houses?
Aaron Rodgers And Kirk cousins Had their own project night experience a long time ago. Although they do not hear their names called by a team during the draft of the NFL 2025, they hold the best party of any non-drafted during the weekend.

Rodgers and cousins will undoubtedly keep an eye on the place where the best quarter of the prospects landed in the draft. This could play a major role in the place where rodgers and cousins are playing next season.
For Rodgers, this could be summed up if the Steelers obtain Sanders. Rodgers, 41, is currently a free agent and has flirted with Pittsburgh essentially all the offseason. Despite this, no agreement has yet materialized. This could change quickly if the Steelers are missing an early quarter. If the team suddenly finds himself looking at a recruit that must develop on the bench for a season, Rodgers would be the most obvious veteran quarterrier available to fill this gap. Knowing that Pittsburgh would be in a liaison in this situation, Rodgers could use this scenario to keep even more money from the Steelers in a possible case.
Cousins, 36, should be able to map its potential landing points depending on the way the project is shaking. Cousins is currently under contract with the Falcons, but is looking for a job after the team has given things to Penix last year.

Cousins wants to be a starter and would not be interested in playing in front of another recruit which will eventually take his work. Once he sees where the best quarters land in the draft, he can start dictating his next landing point. Cousins holds a non-exchange clause in the context of his contract and can oppose his veto to any job he does not like, limiting the options of Falcons.
Whatever the missing teams Sanders or Riley Leonard Or Jalen Milroe could work on phones on Saturday, and it would not be a surprise to see cousins land another role of starting before M. not relevant go from the table.
