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.

After a standout career at Jackson State and Colorado, Shedeur Sanders is shaping up to be one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. Where he goes off the board will be worth watching in Green Bay – and ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.

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.
