I'm working on a new mock update for later in the week.
One of the biggest developments in recent days has been the shift in betting lines for the #2 overall pick, where Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter has becoming the bookmaker favorite for the Cleveland Browns.
It was noteworthy that the shift happened after Colorado's pro day this past Friday. But it's also reflective of an important reality to keep in mind: the evaluation process is complicated.
One point of considerable variance surrounds LSU OT Will Campbell. My normal indicators have suggested a fade from top 10 consideration for Campbell, yet the perception that the New England Patriots would take Campbell at #4 if Travis Hunter and Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter are gone remains strong.
Would the New Orleans Saints draft Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders at #9 overall if he slides? That has been the expectation of some, albeit anything but a lock.
And if not there for the Saints with Sanders... which team and where?
