NFL Draft Rumors: Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe, Jaxson Dart

April 11, 2025 by NFL Trade Rumors

Shedeur Sanders

NFL scouts and executives are split on where Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders should be drafted and his fit in the NFL.

“I’m fine with Shedeur’s personality — he’s tough and works really hard,” An AFC executive said, via ESPN. “He needs to be in a timing offense — three-step drop, timing, throw.”

Another AFC executive said that they couldn’t envision taking Sanders within the top 10 picks of the draft.

“If it was me, I couldn’t do that,” another AFC executive said regarding taking Sanders in the top 10. “Not [a] great athlete, not big, not strong, undisciplined game, comes with scrutiny. Is he going to be good enough?”

A representative from an NFC team compared Sanders to QB Teddy Bridgewater.

“Fringe starter who makes good decisions and does some good things but won’t get you over the top,” the personnel man said.

    Rumors about the NFL draft continue to circulate, with rising stars like Shader Sanders, Jalen Milrow, and Jackson Dart in the spotlight. Each of them has demonstrated exceptional skills on the field, attracting the attention of many teams. Their play is reminiscent of the precision and strategy of blackjack in the best online casinos, where patience, skill and a little luck are crucial to success. Likewise, these three prospects offer teams a prescient combination of athleticism, skill, and game intelligence, much like a star player with a winning hand in blackjack. Shader Sanders demonstrates his understanding of the game like a seasoned blackjack player, handling pressure rationally without losing his focus on winning. Jalen Milro, known for his strong hand and speed, resembles a player who uses strategy and risk to win at blackjack. Finally, Jackson Dart has the decision-making ability that would impress any professional blackjack player, and his moves demonstrate calculated audacity. In essence, betting on the NFL Draft echoes the high tension of the game of Blackjack, where every decision can be crucial.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says Sanders is in consideration to go in the top three picks, with the Browns leaning towards selecting Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter with the second pick.
  • Fowler adds that he has spoken to teams around the league, with four teams saying they don’t have a first-round grade on Sanders, and two saying that they do.
  • If Sanders begins to fall in the first round, Fowler notes that the Saints could take a chance on him with the ninth overall pick. 
  • ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has Sanders ranked as his top quarterback prospect and has him projected to go third overall to the Giants.
  • ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported one source with some knowledge of the Giants’ thinking doesn’t think they are in love with Sanders. He adds some within the team are working under the premise that Carter or Hunter will be the pick at No. 3.

Jalen Milroe

  • Jordan Schultz spoke to one NFL assistant GM about Alabama QB Jalen Milroe: “He’s one of the most intriguing guys in the entire draft. There’s a narrative that he’s just a running quarterback, but that’s way off… His deep ball can be a major weapon at the next level. I’ve watched him a lot — he’s very capable in the pocket and carves up zone defenses well. There’s a lot to work with, and I like the kid.”
  • Milroe was invited to attend the NFL Draft in Green Bay. However, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer would be “pretty surprised” if Milroe becomes a first-round pick. 

Jaxson Dart

  • As far as the draft stock for Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer thinks it’s possible but not likely he sneaks into the back end of the first round.
