The NFL draft is quickly approaching, and there’s a lot to discuss, especially when it comes to a pair of standout athletes from the University of Colorado (CU) who are making waves — quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. With the official draft order set and teams like the Titans, Browns, Giants, Patriots, and Jaguars holding the top picks, the draft landscape is starting to take shape. But before we dive into all the potential landing spots for Shedeur and Hunter, let’s take a step back and talk about what’s at stake and how their futures could unfold in the next few weeks.
One thing is for sure: Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter won’t be around long. They’re both likely to be off the board before pick No. 4. It’s hard to imagine them slipping too far down the draft order given their immense talent and pedigree. But will they both go in the top three? That’s a question that’s sure to stir up some debate.
Deion Sanders, CU’s head coach and Shedeur’s father, has been vocal about his desire to see his son and Hunter go as high as possible in the draft. Coach Prime has been clear: he’ll be guiding both of them through the process to ensure they end up in a good situation. But, of course, that raises the question: how will that influence their draft destinations? Will Shedeur and Hunter have any say in where they end up, or will the teams in the top spots make the decisions for them?
Here’s the situation: the Titans are holding the first overall pick, followed by the Browns at No. 2. From there, the Giants, Patriots, and Jaguars round out the top five. The Titans and Browns are both in need of a quarterback, but they’re also in somewhat of a rebuilding phase. And then there’s the Giants and Patriots — both of whom are looking to make changes at the head coach position. Could these teams be more open to making a big move for Shedeur or Hunter?
Let’s take a closer look at the Titans. Head coach Mike Vrabel has his work cut out for him, and he needs a quarterback to help steer the ship. But does Tennessee want Shedeur Sanders at No. 1 overall? Some projections suggest that they might be leaning toward taking Miami’s Cam Ward instead. It’s an interesting dilemma. But here’s the kicker: Hunter could be the perfect pick for the Titans, and he might be the player they need more than anyone else. A dynamic athlete who can play both sides of the ball, Hunter is essentially two Pro Bowl players in one package. Can you imagine the impact he could have on Tennessee’s roster?
The Titans could certainly use a player like Hunter, but there’s one catch: Hunter has made it clear that he wants to play both wide receiver and cornerback. That’s where the question comes in: will the Titans be willing to allow him to play both positions? They’d be foolish not to, but the decision could ultimately come down to what’s best for the team long term.
Looking at the Browns, the situation is a bit different. Cleveland has its own quarterback conundrum, and they might be a team that’s more focused on filling that need than anything else. However, the idea of taking Hunter at No. 2 overall is intriguing. Like the Titans, the Browns are in need of a playmaker, and Hunter could be the spark they need to turn things around. But could the Browns be interested in taking a player who’s not necessarily the quarterback of the future? It’s a tough call.
Meanwhile, the Giants are a team that might be the perfect fit for Shedeur Sanders. Coach Brian Daboll is in a stable position with the team, and they’ve got some solid offensive weapons in place, including receiver Malik Nabers, who already has a connection with Sanders. Shedeur would have the chance to learn from one of the best in Daboll, and the Giants’ offense could be a great place for him to flourish. But there’s a catch: Shedeur needs to prove that he can handle the NFL game without his father as his coach. That’s a tall order for any player, but it’s especially important for Shedeur, who has struggled at times with holding onto the ball too long during his college career.
As much as Coach Prime would love to see his son go No. 1 overall, the reality is that the NFL is all about finding the right fit. It’s not just about going to the team with the first pick — it’s about landing in a system that will help you succeed. For Shedeur, that system might just be in New York, with the Giants offering the perfect opportunity for him to grow and develop as an NFL quarterback.
Now, here’s where things get really interesting: what if Shedeur doesn’t get the top spot? What if he ends up in a situation like Cleveland, where the team’s quarterback history is less than stellar? The idea of Shedeur being taken by the Browns is not exactly appealing, especially considering the team’s struggles with finding the right quarterback in the past. But that’s where Coach Prime’s influence could come into play. Could Deion Sanders pull some strings behind the scenes to help his son avoid that situation? It’s possible, and it’s certainly something to watch as the draft approaches.
As for Travis Hunter, his future is just as intriguing. Could he end up in Cleveland as well, playing cornerback full time while also getting some snaps as a receiver? That might not be exactly what Hunter wants, but it’s a scenario that could unfold if Shedeur lands in New York and the draft order falls the way it’s projected. Hunter’s versatility makes him a valuable asset for any team, and it’s going to be fascinating to see where he ends up.
The NFL draft is always full of surprises, and this year will be no exception. Will Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter go in the top three picks? It’s hard to say for sure, but one thing is certain: both players are destined for greatness, and they’ll have a major impact on whichever teams select them. Whether they land in Nashville, Cleveland, New York, or somewhere else, the future is bright for Shedeur and Hunter — and we’ll be watching closely to see where they end up.
In the end, the draft process is all about finding the right fit, and for Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, that means finding a place where they can develop and showcase their talents. Whether they’re taken in the top three or later in the first round, these two players are sure to make their mark on the NFL in a big way. It’s just a matter of where they end up and how their careers unfold from there.
So, what do you think? Will Shedeur and Hunter be selected in the top three picks, or will they end up in different spots? One thing is for sure: the NFL draft is going to be exciting, and the future of these two incredible athletes is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
