We saw this a few years ago during the 2022 NFL Draft when Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback taken in the first round, and he went 20th to the Steelers. That was a QB class widely considered to be weak.

It’s one of the worst-kept secrets in the NFL that the Raiders need a QB, and they were aggressive in their effort to land their signal caller of the future in the draft. They have an extra third-round pick as a result of the Davante Adams trade, so they didn’t hesitate to ship one out to land their guy: Sanders.

At pick 33, the Cleveland Browns should be pleased to select Iowa’s Kaleb Johnson, a dynamic and smooth runner who was the engine of his offense in 2024. Johnson is a proven explosive playmaker, rushing for 15 or more yards on 28 of his 240 rushes in his final season for the Hawkeyes.
