Let’s get right into it. You know the drill. Only this time we’re expanding it to three rounds instead of just the first 32 picks. Enjoy.
Round 1
1.1 Jacksonville Jaguars — Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
The best player in the class goes first overall. We’re not projecting trades, or we’d have someone coming up for one of the two quarterbacks with Round 1 grades in this class.
1.2 New York Giants — Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
In the real draft, the Giants are expected to make a play up the board for Sanders if needed. However, as we laid out last week, this franchise has six starts from Black quarterbacks in the last 60 years. Sanders isn’t exactly polished around the edges, either. But he sure can spin the football.
1.3 Las Vegas Raiders — Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Ward isn’t a consolation prize to teams missing out on Sanders; he’s a legit playmaking quarterback in his own right. The Raiders need a spart at the position and Ward can deliver that with his speed, arm strength, and whip-fast delivery.
