Latest ESPN 2025 NFL mock draft has just 2 QBs going in the first round

Seems like this isn’t the best quarterback class in the 2025 NFL Draft.

There’s buzz about Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and his Miami counterpart Cam Ward. But beyond? We’ll see if another name emerges. Our latest 2025 mock draft from Christian D’Andrea had three QBs in the first, with Alabama’s Jalen Milroe being taken.

But in the latest ESPN mock draft from Field Yates, it was just two, with the top two picks: Sanders to the New York Giants with the first pick and Ward to the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 2. That means two-way star Travis Hunter would go third.

Here’s Yates’ take on why Sanders goes first:

The Giants’ multiyear quest to find a quarterback — recall they tried to trade up in last April’s draft — should come to an end in 2025. They benched and subsequently cut Daniel Jones last month, ending his six-season era in New York. Sanders has put together an incredible final college season, leading the FBS in completion percentage (74.2%) and ranking top-three in touchdown passes (35) and passing yards (3,926). He is at his best delivering from the pocket, as he throws with natural touch and is extremely poised. Sanders has met big moment after big moment at Colorado, and that unflappability bodes well for his NFL future.

There you have it. Make sure to check out the latest NFL mock draft from D’Andrea, along with the up-to-date NFL Draft order.
