Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer thinks there are a wide range of possibilities for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the first round of this year's NFL draft on Thursday night, with him possibly going as high as No. 3 to the New York Giants or falling out of the first round entirely. The Giants have done plenty of homework on Sanders and other top QB prospects, but they won't force a pick on a quarterback with the third overall pick, and they've reportedly had ups and downs with Sanders throughout the scouting process. Breer guesses the G-Men won't take the 23-year-old at No. 3, but they could get another shot at him at No. 34 overall in the second round or if they trade back into the first round. If New York doesn't take him at No. 3, Breer would be surprised if the Saints take him at No. 9. His next potential landing spot could be the Steelers at No. 21. Some sources think if Sanders goes in the first round, it will be because an owner gets involved.

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, who has already had top-30 visits with the Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, will have two final visits with the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 2025 RB draft class is a very strong one, but Skattebo has plenty of suitors after running for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns on 293 carries for the Sun Devils in 2024 while also catching 45 passes for 605 yards and another three scores through the air. The Lions hold the No. 28 overall pick in the first round, while the Titans wouldn't be considering Skattebo until pick No. 35 (third overall pick in the second round). The 23-year-old wouldn't have any real single-year fantasy value behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery if he were to land with the Lions. He'd have a more direct path to fantasy value in 2025 in Tennessee alongside Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac said on The Rich Eisen Show that the Pittsburgh Steelers really like both Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart and Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. "I will tell you Rich that they have a first-round grade on Jaxson Dart, and they really like Shedeur Sanders," Dulac said. "Despite whatever post was put out there that he had a terrible meeting (and) it did not go well. Nothing could be further from the truth. They like the guy. They had a great meeting with him." Pittsburgh has yet to sign future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers and have only Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson on their QB depth chart heading into the draft, so many are predicting that they will address the position with the 21st overall pick in the first round on Thursday night. However, Dulac thinks the team prefers to go with a defensive lineman with their first-round pick. There's a greater chance that Sanders is gone by pick No. 21.

The Seattle Seahawks are open to trading quarterback Sam Howell and have received inquiries from teams interested in landing the backup signal-caller, according to sources. The interest comes after Seattle reunited with former backup Drew Lock last week. Sam Darnold is the starter, but the Seahawks also have Jaren Hall as their No. 4 QB. General manager John Schneider said last week that the team is prepared to have Howell and Lock compete for the backup job behind Darnold this summer. Seattle acquired Howell in a trade last March with the Washington Commanders, giving up third- and fifth-round picks in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks. The 24-year-old didn't look great at all in relief of Geno Smith in December after he started all 17 games for the Commanders in 2023, throwing 21 touchdowns and a league-high 21 interceptions.

There is skepticism that the New Orleans Saints will take Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders if he's available at their pick at No. 9 overall in this year's NFL draft on Thursday night, even with Derek Carr's (shoulder) availability in question for the start of the 2025 season this fall. The Saints are believed to be more interested in taking an offensive or defensive lineman with their first-round pick this year. However, there is a belief that they do want to select a QB this year, just maybe not at No. 9 overall. "I don't think New Orleans is taking Shedeur. I think they're hot and heavy on Jaxson Dart," a personnel executive said. Still, it would be a surprise to see New Orleans take Dart at No. 9 overall. The Ole Miss product could be squarely in the mix to be taken with the Saints' second-round pick, though, at No. 40 overall -- according to sources, the Saints have already made calls about trading up in the second round.
