Rich Eisen · Apr 21, 2025

Eisen says Cam Ward is a near-lock to be taken first overall by the Titans, expects Shedeur Sanders to land with a team picking in the twenties, agrees Ashton Jeanty could go top five, thinks Jalen Milroe goes in the late twenties, and frames the Steelers as a team that will make the playoffs rather than bottom out.

Cam Ward's gonna go first overall.

  • Pittsburgh Steelers to make the playoffs

    they're not good enough... But they're also not gonna miss the playoffs to be bad enough to be able to totally reset their franchise.

  • Ashton Jeanty to be picked “top five” (picks 1–5)

    I think Ashton Gentry is going in the top five. / I think he could too... This is not an overreaction.

  • Shedeur Sanders to be picked “drafted by a team in the twenties”

    I don't think that's an overreaction, and that would mean that he he he gets drafted by a team in the in in the twenties.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Jalen Milroe to be picked “late twenties”

    Miller going to the draft, I think, is an indication to me that he is going in that late twenties.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
