Grier joked in the presser that if somebody calls to offer them two first-round picks they’d consider it, but unfortunately for him Bill O’Brien can only offer NIL money at this time. Hill’s recent domestic dispute with his wife likely has teams skittish regarding a potential trade for the speedy wideout. Denials don’t always mean what is on the tin — and the fact that Grier said no team had contacted them as far as a trade for Hill could be viewed as him seeking a market — but as of now it looks more likely than not that Hill will return as Miami’s No. 1 receiver in 2025.

Hunter said he would refuse to play for a team that did not allow him to play both corner and wideout. “Because I’ve been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field,” he told CBS Sports. “I feel like I could dominate on each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it.” Hunter in 2024 played 713 offensive snaps and 748 defensive snaps, “which made him the only player since at least 2017 with at least 250 snaps played on both offense and defense in a single season,” according to CBS Sports Research. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, a mentor to Hunter, said Hunter could easily play both sides of the ball as a pro since physical contact in the NFL is “minimal.” Pro Football Focus graded Hunter as last season’s second best cover corner. The most likely outcome for Hunter, 21, would include a full-time defensive role in the NFL with a package of receiver snaps in certain situations. He’s expected to go in the first ten picks of the 2025 draft.

Russini said Shough’s draft prospects have spiked over the past two weeks, going from a second- or third-round selection to a possible first rounder. That, of course, depends on how desperate quarterback-needy teams will be on the first night of the NFL Draft. An anonymous head coach told Russini that Shough, who threw for nearly 3,200 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions in his final collegiate season, is the best QB prospect in the entire 2025 draft class. Shough, who will be 26 in September, played seven years of college football, including stints at Texas Tech and Oregon. Pro Football Focus graded Shough as 2024’s fifth best passer. His adjusted completion rate in 2024 ranked 25th out of 93 qualifying QBs. It would be surprising if a team aggressively pursued the older quarterback prospect as a first-round selection.

It appears the Giants are very much considering using their first-round pick on Sanders, whose draft prospects are all over the place in the run-up to the 2025 NFL Draft. “When this happens so late in the process either there’s a big disagreement in their building on their evaluation or their [sic] reacting to new information,” said former Jets GM and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum. Sanders could go in the top five picks or drop out of the first round altogether depending on how the Giants, Browns, and other quarterback-needy teams approach the first night of the draft. Sanders, who threw 64 touchdowns in two seasons on his father’s Colorado team, would compete with Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson for New York’s Week 1 starting job.

Rapoport added that “it wouldn’t be a surprise if [Ramsey] played elsewhere in 2025.” The Dolphins owe Ramsey $25.1 million in 2025, and don’t seem eager to keep him onboard after an underwhelming two seasons in Miami. Ramsey has five interceptions for the Dolphins over 27 games, missing significant time with various injuries, including a lingering knee issue. Ramsey in 2024 was graded by Pro Football Focus as the league’s 24th best cover corner out of 133 qualifying cornerbacks. Entering his age-31 season, Ramsey could be a candidate for a draft-day trade. Teams don’t value older corners highly so he may not cost much to acquire.

Breer writes a pretty rough profile of Sanders’ current prospects, reporting he doesn’t believe Sanders is going in the top three and that it’d be “surprising” if he went in the top 10. “I’m having a really hard time finding coaches or scouts who believe Sanders is a first-round talent,” is the lede of that section of the column. The draft landscape is always shifting and we’ve seen perceived first-round quarterbacks like Will Levis and Malik Willis tumble out of Day 1 — it’s possible that Sanders will be the next to join that list.

Considered one of the top backs in this year’s class, Hampton could sneak into the late first round if a team desperate enough for a top back opts to take a shot on the UNC product. Hampton produces a three-down skillset and blew away scouts and coaches with his impressive combine performance as a six-foot, 221-pound back. Last season, Hampton rushed for 281-1,660-15 while adding another 38-373-2 through the air and closed out his career with back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing seasons. According to Schultz, Hampton has also met with the Cowboys and Steelers. He could immediately fill the role as the Bears’ RB1 in Ben Johnson’s offense, which could prove detrimental to D’Andre Swift’s fantasy value in 2025.

It’s a sign of good faith by Parsons, who is entering the final year of his deal but hopes to sign a lucrative extension with the Cowboys before the start of the season. The star pass rusher totaled 43 tackles and 12 sacks last season while being limited to just 13 games due to injury. Arguably the best pass rusher in the league, Parsons will likely land a record-setting deal whenever he does sign an extension.

Per Adam Schefter, Carter has already met with the Titans, Browns, and Giants but turned down all other top-30 visits with teams picking outside of the top four picks. The Penn State pass rusher is viewed as the No. 1 pass rusher in the draft and is coming off a season in which he totaled 12 sacks and also led the nation with 24 TFLs. The Patriots already have their quarterback situation figured out with Drake Maye in tow, but would benefit from adding a premiere pass rusher after ranking dead last as a team in sacks with 28. Carter would hopefully provide them an immediate pass-rushing threat for the next decade as the Patriots look to turn a corner following three-straight losing seasons.
