Green Bay, WIS. – One night where teams focus on defense on crime, on Friday night, the talk of NFL draft was still about quarterbacks.
Especially a one that was not drafted.
Of the 70 players selected in the second and third rounds, the defensive line and secondary were responsible for exactly half. There were another 11 aggressive linemen.
However, everyone who was waiting to hear the name was never called, as the Colorado Quarterback Sheders Sanders was not one of the three signal-colors selected.
Instead, New Orleans Saints took Louisville Quarterback Tyler Shaf with a 40th overall pick, after which Seattle Sehox took Alabama’s Jalan Milro with a 92nd pick and the Cleveland Builder was going to Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel with two pics later.
The 25 -year -old Shaf completed a college career, with seven seasons and three schools. He said about one of his seasons in Louisville, “I have been clearly around and have seen a lot of balls and started a lot of games, but getting a full season and being able to show that what I can do was my main goal.”
The monk, who started the quarterback Derek Carr, has a shoulder injury and his condition is uncertain. Backup Spencer Ratler threw 1,317 yards in seven matches in the previous season, but went 0–6 as a starter.
Milro thrown for 6,016 yards and ran to Alabama in his four sessions (final two as Crimson Tide’s Starter) for another 1,577. He calculated 78 touchdowns in the college.
Seahawks’s quarterback room is already crowded with Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Sam Hall and Jaren Hall. Daranold signed a three -year, $ 100.5 million free agent contract in March.
Gabriel played three seasons in Central Florida, followed by two in Oklahoma and one last season in Oregan. He threw 3,857 yards and 30 for Touchdown in 2024, his fifth season was 3,000 yards. The biggest knock against him is his height (5 -foot -11).
With the expectation of remembering all or most of the 2025 season or most of the 2025 season after re -breaking the Achilles, Gabriel will compete with a 17 -year -old experienced who resigned recently with FlaCCO and Kenny pickets, which was acquired in a business with Philadelphia eagles.
Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer and current Colorado coach Dione Sanders, passed 14,347 yards with 134 touchdowns in his college career, two seasons in Jackson State, then with two seasons in Colorado.
Most of the draft analysts saw Sanders as the first round pick.
The second round of the browns had two out of the first four pics. On Thursday, he moved to further his defense to carry the UCLA Linebacker Carson Shrashinger with the first pick of the second round after selecting Michigan’s Defense Tackle Mason Graham with the fifth overall pick.
Three pics later, Cleveland withdrew Quinshon Judkins to the second round. Judkins ran for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns in the previous season after being shifted from Ole Miss. His Ohio State team partner, Traven Henderson, later went to New England Patriots two pics.
The Iowa State Wide Receive Zeden Higgins was the second pick in the second round, chosen by Houston Texas. Higgins had 87 receptions for 1,183 yards with nine touchdowns in the previous season.
Chicago Beer taunted Missouri’s Luther Burden III at number 39. Burdon was considered a potential first round pick in 2023 after his junior season, when he had 86 catches at a distance of 1,212 yards, but last year his number for 616 yards fell at a distance of 61 yards.
The other two wideouts taken in the second round: Ole Miss’s tray Harris went to Los Angeles Chargers on number 55, and TCU’s Jake Bake was selected by Las Vegas Reders at number 58.
The LSU tight end was taken with the 42nd pick by the Tight End Meteor, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, New York Jets.
