NFL Draft Tracker: Shedeur Sanders Heads Top Remaining QBs After Saints Select Tyler Shough

The 2025 NFL Draft remains unpredictable on day two. Perhaps it’s not the draft causing the surprises, but rather the teams' failure to select Shedeur Sanders, who had been expected to be chosen second overall until recently.

We've reached nearly the midpoint of round two, with three quarterbacks now selected: Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, and most recently Tyler Shough at pick number 40 going to the Saints. However, both Spencer Sanders and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers remain available. If this scenario had been described back in December 2024, you’d likely have dismissed it as absurdity.

Top quarterback prospects left for the 2025 NFL Draft

1. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
2. Quinn Ewers, Texas
3. Jalen Milroe, Alabama
4. Will Howard, Ohio State
5. Kyle McCord, Syracuse

Where might Shedeur Sanders end up?

By now, who can say for sure? Teams have moved beyond selecting potential cornerstone quarterbacks and are getting closer to drafting players intended as dependable backup options. This definitely doesn’t align with what Sanders believes about himself, nor does it match our perception of him—but evidently, NFL team executives see Sanders differently from how many of us do.
