As the NFL Draft approaches, Field Yates has released his latest mock draft, generating excitement and speculation among fans and analysts alike. In this fourth iteration, Yates predicts that the Tennessee Titans will select Cam Ward as the first overall pick. Ward, known for his impressive performance at Miami, is touted as a dynamic quarterback with a strong arm, addressing the Titans’ pressing need for a franchise starter.

Yates has the Cleveland Browns opting for a defensive powerhouse at number two, choosing Abdul Carter from Penn State. Carter, considered one of the top pass rushers in this draft class, could form a formidable duo with Miles Garrett, potentially creating one of the league’s scariest defensive tandems.

The most intriguing development, however, comes with the New York Giants’ selection at third overall. Yates suggests that the Giants should draft Shedeur Sanders, a decision that has sparked considerable debate. With the team needing a long-term solution at quarterback, Yates argues that if the Giants have conviction in Sanders, they shouldn’t hesitate to secure him despite the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback class.

Mel Kiper Jr. echoed Yates’ sentiments, praising Sanders’ potential and likening him to successful pocket passers in the NFL. Kiper acknowledged the challenges Sanders faced in college but emphasized his impressive statistics and ability to perform under pressure. However, a cloud of uncertainty looms over whether the Giants will commit to Sanders, especially with the looming presence of other promising prospects.

As the draft date nears, all eyes will be on the Giants’ decision-making process. Coach Brian Daboll’s comments at recent league meetings indicate a willingness to explore options, but the question remains: will they seize the opportunity to draft their future quarterback, or will they play it safe? The answer could significantly impact the franchise’s trajectory in the coming years.
