Shedeur Sanders projected to Jets in NFL mock draft

Shedeur Sanders, quarterback from Colorado, is facing uncertainty in the upcoming NFL draft. Some experts predict he will drop from being a top pick to possibly going in the second half of the first round. CBS Sports analyst Chris Trapasso suggests that the Las Vegas Raiders might choose to go in a different direction. Instead of selecting Sanders, Trapasso believes the Raiders will take Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with their sixth overall pick. He sees Jeanty as a game-changing player who could help make the Raiders more competitive next season. Jeanty's performance in college has drawn comparisons to NFL star Alvin Kamara. On the other hand, the New York Jets are projected to focus on the future of their quarterback position. They may be setting up a competition between Sanders and Justin Fields. This battle is expected to attract significant media attention later this summer. The practice of drafting running backs in the first round has become less common, unless they have standout potential like Saquon Barkley. However, Jeanty’s impressive skill set might make him a worthy top-10 pick. If the Raiders see him as an essential addition, picking him sixth may not be as surprising as it seems.
