In the latest mock from ESPN's NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., the New York Jets had a surprise as the team ends up landing a quarterback in the first round.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., however, is no longer one of those people. In his latest mock draft that dropped on Tuesday morning, the longtime draft analyst has Sanders falling all the way to the New York Jets at No. 7. In his previous mock draft back in January, Kiper had Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

Even though conventional wisdom suggests the Las Vegas Raiders will draft Shedeur Sanders if the opportunity presents itself, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has the Colorado star ending up slightly lower in the 2025 draft.
