New Orleans, Louisiana – The race to draft Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is heating up, with the Saints leading as the favored team to secure him. However, the Giants have now entered the picture, conducting a private workout with Sanders. This development follows the Giants’ recent acquisitions of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, both of whom have uncertain contract statuses in terms of their roles as starters for the team.
Many experts speculate that the Giants may not select Sanders with the third overall pick in the upcoming draft. Instead, they could potentially trade down to acquire him. However, they would need to ensure they do not drop below the eighth pick, as the Saints are positioned at number nine and are eager to add Sanders to their roster.
The Titans are expected to choose former Miami quarterback Cam Ward, while the Browns are likely to select cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter or edge rusher Abdul Carter. This leaves the Giants with a strategic opportunity to potentially leverage their third pick to secure Sanders.
At DraftKings, the Saints are currently the top choice to draft Sanders, with the Giants following closely behind. The recent private workout between the Giants and Sanders may affect the odds in favor of New York, intensifying the competition between the two teams for the talented quarterback. This development adds an intriguing twist to the upcoming NFL draft, as teams jockey for position to acquire their top prospects and strengthen their rosters for the upcoming season.
