This time the NFL 2025 seems to have lots of intrigue part. From Cam Ward to Shedeur Sanders there has been ups and down in their plays. It has been heard that both of them are expected to go for Top 10 picks.
It has been heard that Sanders is backed by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. who has stopped him from sliding too much. Kiper said, “You're in a division with Josh (Allen), Drake Maye, Tua (Tagovailoa). And the AFC is loaded with great quarterbacks... You gotta get a quarterback. Who's it gonna be? Shedeur Sanders, he's dropping to the Raiders. What would preclude the Jets from going up ahead of the Raiders and getting a guy like Shedeur Sanders?”
Mel Kiper Jr. predicts that Sanders might be the No.7 pick. There can be a scenario change and things are likely to fall if the Las Vegas Raiders sign one of the QBs in free agency. Predictions have been made that Sam Darnold is likely to be fit the bill.
There still remains confusion in the air and uncertainty as it has been heard that the Raiders would probably select Sanders at No.6 if they don’t get or miss out on Sam Darnold.

Win over mock draft? Cam Ward VS Shedeur Sam continues- Who shall win it?

According to some of the reports, a close aide of Deion Sanders has claimed that he would prefer Cam Ward over Sanders. Much of the revelation has been done by ESPN’s Louis Riddick in his first episode of First Take.
The revelation goes on to say like this, “Right now, I have Cam No. 1. If I was picking right now. And everybody knows how much I love Deion Sanders, and that is my guy. He has supported me from the time we were players until now. I would objectively take Cam Ward first.”

Though Riddick has a deep bond with the Sanders family but his honest admission amazed the audience. On one side he preferred to keep silent with his admission and on the other side he is not willing to let any relationship change his viewpoint.
