2025 NFL Draft: From Wing-T to favorite for No. 1 overall pick, history says Cam Ward shouldn’t be here

I hope the Giants don't galaxy brain this and take Carter or Hunter at 3. Graham I'd be ok with too. What I'm keeping an eye on is if they trade back into the 1st round to get their QB.

I have a funny feeling about Sanders and the Saints. I don't see Pittsburgh taking him.

Jets should stay away from shiny toys and draft the best O or D line
