Todd McShay · Mar 20, 2025

McShay expects Tennessee to finalize on Cam Ward at No. 1, has Cleveland taking Shedeur Sanders at No. 2 and the Giants taking Travis Hunter at No. 3 in his mock draft 2.0, and feels strongly the top four picks are Ward, Abdul Carter, Hunter and Sanders.

I feel strongly that there's a good chance the four players are Cam Ward, Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Shador Sanders going in the top four picks.

  • Abdul Carter to be picked “top four picks” (picks 1–4)

    I feel strongly that there's a good chance the four players are Cam Ward, Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Shador Sanders going in the top four picks.

  • Cam Ward to be picked at number 1

    I think they're getting close to finalizing the decision that Cam Ward's the number one pick.

  • Shedeur Sanders to be picked at number 2

    I went with Cleveland taking Shador Sanders, and here's why... there's a lot of elements to the Cleveland decision at two.

  • Travis Hunter to be picked at number 3

    for the Giants... I I think if it goes quarterback one two, it comes down to Hunter versus Abdul Carter. I went with Hunter.
