Fast forward a year and many, but not all, questions were answered Thursday night. Looking ahead to Friday, there are still multiple storylines to monitor, including when and where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will come off the board.

Once considered a contender to be the No. 1 overall pick, the Colorado quarterback was not selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders — the son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders — was passed on by quarterback-needy teams including the Giants, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Saints wound up using the ninth pick on Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. Shough had an official pre-draft visit with Saints officials on April 11. His stock has also been rising throughout the evaluation process. Duncan noted on April 15 that two teams said Shough was the best quarterback in this year's class.
