Where Shedeur Sanders could get picked after falling out of first round in 2025 NFL Draft
Former Jackson State star quarterback Shedeur Sanders was not picked on the first day of the 2025 NFL Draft.
It took many by surprise. Sanders, according to some mock drafts, was projected to go as high as No. 3.
Sanders played two seasons at JSU under his father, Deion Sanders. Then he transferred to Colorado when Deion became the Buffaloes coach for the 2023 season.
Where will Sanders get picked in Day 2 of the NFL draft? Here are some potential options for Sanders in Rounds 2 and 3.
Where Shedeur Sanders could get picked in NFL draft Day 2
Two quarterbacks were taken in the first round, in all likelihood eliminating two teams for Sanders. The Tennessee Titans chose Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick. The New York Giants took Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 pick.
Other teams who need quarterbacks include the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Browns have the first and fourth picks of the second round after trading back from pick No. 3. They selected Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham in the first round.
The Raiders pick right after the Browns at No. 37 overall, followed by the Saints at No. 40. The Jets have the No. 42 pick.
The Steelers aren’t slated to pick again until No. 83 in the third round. They were viewed as a legitimate landing spot for Sanders at No. 21 in the first round, but the Steelers picked Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon instead.
Don’t sleep on these NFL teams for Shedeur Sanders
The Los Angeles Rams could be a wildcard team for Sanders. They have Matthew Stafford as their starter, but he turned 37 in February. The Rams don’t have an obvious successor behind him. They traded out of the first round and will make their first selection at No. 46.
The Seattle Seahawks, who hold picks No. 50 and 52, could be another team to watch for Sanders. They also have two third-round picks. The Seahawks signed Sam Darnold to a three-year contract after a breakout season with the Minnesota Vikings. Sanders could be a failsafe if Darnold does translate well to Seattle.

Suddenly hazy skies in Denver prompt some residents concerned about wildfire smoke to call 911
Some people who live in the Denver metro area on Thursday afternoon were making calls to 911 after skies became noticeably hazy and winds kicked up. It was due to smoke from wildfires in Nebraska moving into Colorado. A cold front also was moving through the Front Range, and there is dust in the air.
The poor air conditions led to reduced visibility downtown after 3 p.m. Several of CBS Colorado’s City Cams showed dust or smoke in the air.
Temperatures were expected to drop by as much as 20 to 30 degrees with the cold front.
The suddenly dusty skies prompted at least one fire agency to put out a plea to residents to please only call 911 “if you see flames.” That warning was put out by South Metro Fire Rescue, which shared a photo on X of an office building with haze visible outside.
South Metro Fire Rescue said in their post that the smoke is from Colorado’s neighbor to the east. They called it a “significant haze” in the air.
Earlier this month, the Morrill Fire and the Cottonwood Fire burned a significant amount of Nebraska grassland and ranchland. They have mostly been contained by firefighters. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said those two fires combined with several others have burned approximately 800,000 acres of land. On Thursday, Pillen announced that he is signing several executive actions intended to ease the burden caused by the fires.
There were no wildfires burning in the Denver metro area on Thursday afternoon.
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – A homicide suspect based out of Colorado, wanted in a fentanyl-related death, is back in the state after being captured in Colombia.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) said 33-year-old Max Arsenault had been on the run since January 17.
Deputies said this stemmed from an incident in May 2023, where deputies responded to a call for a man named Nicholas Dorotik, who was found unresponsive.
ACSO said the cause of death was a mixed drug overdose involving meth and fentanyl, having about three times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his system.
One year later, Arsenault was arrested. He was scheduled for trial in January 2026 when deputies said he fled the country while on bond three days before the trial was set to start.
He was caught in Medellin, Colombia, on March 4, following a two-month international investigation. He has since been extradited back to Denver, where he is facing charges and awaiting trial.
