Five burning questions entering Day 2 of NFL Draft: Where does Shedeur Sanders land?

With one round down and six to go, several things remain unanswered in the 2025 NFL Draft.

As we gear up for Rounds 2 and 3, here are five pressing questions for Day 2.

1. Where does Shedeur Sanders land?

With two of the first four picks on Friday, the Cleveland Browns will be a viable landing spot for Sanders. It would be a bit of a shame if he does go to Cleveland, considering the Browns missed an opportunity to draft his college teammate, Travis Hunter, at No. 2, instead trading the selection for a haul of picks to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But Sanders would give Cleveland a serviceable pathway from Deshaun Watson, who's devolved into one of the league's worst quarterbacks since being traded to the Browns.

After a long Thursday night, Sanders likely won't have nearly as long of a wait to hear his name called on Friday. He could go as soon as the first pick of the night at No. 33.

2. What are the Saints, Steelers plans at quarterback?

If Sanders is off the board by the time the New Orleans Saints pick at No. 40, they'll have to scramble for a backup option with starting quarterback Derek Carr's status uncertain for Week 1. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in even worse shape, with their next pick not coming until the third round (No. 83).

Quarterbacks Tyler Shough, Will Howard and Jalen Milroe could all be consolation prizes, but none offer Sanders' upside. After passing on him once, neither will likely have the chance to select him again, which could be a costly mistake, as both have uncertain quarterback outlooks for next season.

3. Who are the best offensive players remaining?

In addition to Sanders, Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III (6-foot, 206 pounds), Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson (5-foot-10, 202 pounds) and LSU tight end Mason Taylor (6-foot-5, 251 pounds) are among the best skill-position players remaining. Most of the top linemen are off the board, with Minnesota's Aireontae Ersery (6-foot-6, 331 pounds) and Boston College's Ozzy Trapilo (6-foot-8, 316 pounds) among the most likely to be picked on Day 2.

4. Best defensive players?

Teams will have several top-flight defenders to choose from at the top of the second round. Michigan cornerback Will Johnson (6-foot-2, 194 pounds), the No. 8 overall prospect according to SIS, 6-foot-3, 251-pound Marshall edge Mike Green (The Athletic's Dane Brugler's No. 10 prospect) and Boston College edge Donovan Ezeiruaku (6-foot-3, 248 pounds) could easily have been picked in the first round but were overlooked. 

Teams with early second-round picks, including the Browns, Titans and Raiders, are in a great position to add more starter-level talent on Friday.

5. What teams will make the most noise on Day 2?

The Seattle Seahawks are in line to be a major player during Rounds 2 and 3. Seattle has four picks (Nos. 50, 52, 82, 92) to address its defense and receiving corps after parting with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett earlier this offseason.

After Thursday's trade with the Jaguars, Cleveland also has four picks (Nos. 33, 36, 67, 94) as it tries to turn the page on the Watson era.
