Potential top draft pick ​​Shedeur Sanders shot back at the presumption that his draft stock is dipping and the feeling the media is helping to push that narrative.

With the Las Vegas Raiders trading for NFL journeyman QB Geno Smith, the likelihood of Shedeur Sanders being in Sin City was cut down drastically.

Every NFL prospect is currently sliding under the microscope for evaluators to come away with their impressions and whether or not they'll eventually have their clubs select them at the 2025 NFL Draft later this spring.

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler called Sanders, “A wild card in this draft.” Not a complete spin on the situation but would be interesting to see. Brugler highlighted the volatility in Sanders’ stock by saying he might "go in the top six or fall out of the first round entirely—and neither outcome would be a shock.”

For Shedeur Sanders, it’s been a bit of both. The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback is projected to climb as high as No. 1 or fall as low as the bottom of the first round, according to draft analysts. Here’s a look at where national draftniks think Sanders will land in the draft.

In his latest mock draft, Zierlein has Sanders going No. 29 overall to the Cleveland Browns, who Zierlein has trading up with the Commanders to get the QB. The Browns have the No. 2 overall pick, which many think is where they'll take Miami QB Cam Ward. Zierlein, however, has them taking Sanders's former teammate, Travis Hunter.

Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders will be the first two quarterbacks selected in next month’s NFL draft. Where they go is still uncertain.
