2025 NFL mock draft: Giants trade up for No. 1, Shedeur Sanders slides
Briefly

The article discusses the challenges in projecting trades for the upcoming draft due to the diminished appeal of first-round picks. Teams value their Day 2 selections more, particularly if the Titans consider trading their top pick, most likely to the Giants or Browns. Cam Ward is the coveted quarterback, while opinions on other quarterbacks vary significantly. With the combine affecting rankings, the overall quarterback market remains fluid. The potential trades and selected players are analyzed with a focus on what might unfold in Round 1.
Teams holding Day 2 picks value them much more than the options in a lighter first round, making trades less likely unless it's at the No. 1 pick.
The Giants are expected to trade up to the top spot for Cam Ward, a move that would create a much-needed quarterback splash without overwhelming competition.
The ranking of quarterbacks after Cam Ward varies significantly among teams, with some regarding Shedeur Sanders as QB2 while others see him as a late Day 2 prospect.
The Browns are on the lookout for a quarterback and might consider moving up, but Abdul Carter could be a solid fallback if that doesn't unfold.
