On Tuesday, ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. took his best stab at predicting where Sanders would ultimately end up—and it's not as far down as many would have predicted. Per Kiper, the New Orleans Saints will pick Sanders with the No. 9 overall pick, securing their quarterback of the future under new head coach Kellen Moore.

The youngest head coach in the NFL is getting set for his first season, which could include a shiny new addition. With the New Orleans Saints picking ninth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, they’ll have to wait and see how the top of the board shakes out.

The 2025 NFL draft is quickly approaching with just a few weeks to go until names start getting called in Green Bay. That means we're in the frantic final stretch of mock draft season. Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest one on Tuesday and the biggest move up front has to do with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
