NFL Teams Shift Draft Strategies for 2025

NFL teams are reportedly facing challenges in evaluating Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' character due to Deion Sanders' tight control over the program, though Sanders is still considered a top 2025 draft prospect. The New York Giants are exploring quarterback options, including Kyle McCord, and targeting defensive line prospects like Darius Alexander. The San Francisco 49ers, after a quiet free agency, are expected to focus on defensive line upgrades in the draft. The New Orleans Saints are dealing with uncertainty at quarterback following Derek Carr's contract restructuring and possible injury, while entering the draft with multiple high picks and a new head coach. The Los Angeles Rams are likely to use their draft pick on a quarterback such as Jaxson Dart to prepare for life after Matthew Stafford. These developments highlight shifting draft priorities and strategic planning across several NFL teams ahead of the 2025 draft.
