If Shedeur Sanders has his approach, he’ll find yourself with the Las Vegas Raiders popping out of the 2025 NFL draft.
Per ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, folks near Sanders and the Colorado program “imagine” the quarterback’s desire is to finish up with the Raiders.

Deion Sanders says right here that #Giants “should not giving up that (No. 1) decide. I do know that for a reality.”
And “Shedeur goes to be the No. 1 decide.”
Appears like he absolutely expects his son to be subsequent Giants QB in the event that they lose out. https://t.co/cLAJu30XTN
The Giants are currently in place to earn the highest decide within the 2025 draft, however they’re tied with the Raiders for the worst report within the NFL (2-12) with three video games remaining.
Las Vegas would most probably transfer forward of the Giants if each groups lose out as a result of the first tiebreaker is set by energy of schedule.
Per Tankathon, the Raiders’ energy of schedule based mostly on their opponents’ present profitable proportion is .537, in comparison with the Giants at .550. These numbers will change over the ultimate three weeks, however New York has a tougher closing stretch with video games towards the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Raiders’ remaining schedule consists of the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers. It does harm their probabilities that their subsequent two opponents are weak on paper and the Chargers might need nothing to play for in Week 18 since they could lock up a playoff spot by the top of this weekend.
Even when the Raiders or Giants get the No. 1 decide, it stays to be seen in the event that they would like Sanders as the highest quarterback within the class. It appears to be a detailed race between Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward for that spot proper now.
B/R’s NFL scouting division has them with the identical grade on its most up-to-date big board. Ward at No. 8 general is ranked one spot above Sanders, however they each have equivalent 8.5 grades.
Sanders does deliver an instantaneous marketability with him by being the son of a Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer and a high-profile participant in his personal proper on a Colorado workforce that has been must-see TV over the previous two years. This may very well be a differentiating issue for a Raiders workforce that should generate some pleasure in Las Vegas after three consecutive shedding seasons.
