Overview

• The New York Giants traded back into the first round to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25, passing on Shedeur Sanders.
• Sanders, once projected as a top-three quarterback, was not selected in the first round due to concerns about his interviews and perceived lack of elite traits.
• Oddsmakers now favor the Cleveland Browns to select Sanders with the 33rd overall pick, the first of Round 2, citing their quarterback needs.
• Sanders has publicly framed his draft slide as motivation, emphasizing his readiness to prove doubters wrong and focus on future opportunities.
• Reactions to Sanders' fall have been widespread, including criticism from President Trump, who called NFL owners 'stupid' for passing on him.
