The NFL Draft concluded with a shocking twist as Shedeur Sanders, once projected as a top-five pick for the 2025 NFL Draft, remains undrafted after the second and third rounds. His unexpected drop, fueled by teams like the New Orleans Saints opting for other quarterbacks such as Tyler Shough, raises questions about his future in the league. The Cleveland Browns also favored Dillon Gabriel over Sanders, emphasizing a significant shift in quarterback preferences this year.

Other surprising picks included the Houston Texans doubling down on wide receivers, selecting Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, potentially indicating a crowded receiver room and concerns over Tank Dell's availability. Quinshon Judkins was chosen before TreVeyon Henderson, highlighting the unpredictability of the draft and altering the landscape for rookie running backs.
