The New York Giants made waves in the 2025 NFL Draft, first by selecting Penn State’s Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick, then by pulling off a surprise trade to grab Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25.

Whispers in the Draft Room: Hunter, Sanders, and Banks Stir the Storm

April 21, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, the Cleveland Browns are expected to select Travis Hunter, the versatile Colorado wide receiver and cornerback, with the second overall pick. Several sources have confirmed this potential move, which would clear the way for Penn State’s Abdul Carter to land with the Giants. Hunter, a reigning Heisman winner, has been clear about his desire to continue playing both ways at the NFL level, even suggesting he might sit out if forced into a single position. However, with the Browns’ apparent willingness to let him play both offense and defense, this dream could soon become a reality for Hunter.

In other draft news, Shedeur Sanders, Hunter’s teammate and quarterback at Colorado, has become one of the most polarizing figures in the draft process. Scouts are struggling to get an unbiased read on Sanders, with many attributing the challenge to the influence of his father, Deion Sanders, who also serves as his coach. Deion’s dual role as both a father and a Hall of Fame NFL player has made it difficult for NFL personnel to gain a clear understanding of Shedeur’s prospects.

Port Adelaide’s dominant performance against Hawthorn was a stunning reminder of their potential. Marketed as a grudge match, it quickly turned into a one-sided affair, with Port Adelaide attacking relentlessly from the outset. By the second quarter, they led by a staggering 71 points, and it seemed all but over. Hawthorn, struggling to keep up, found a moment of hope in the final term as they mounted a brief, almost historic comeback. However, a taunting moment from Willie Rioli, followed by a free kick, quickly extinguished any hopes of a turnaround, as Port Adelaide secured a commanding 18.13 (121) to 14.7 (91) win.

This victory came at a crucial time, after a rocky start to the season that had many questioning the future of the Ken Hinkley era. But on Sunday night, Port Adelaide showed what they’re capable of when their midfield is fully charged and their emotional energy is harnessed. The performance of captain Connor Rozee, who found his confidence after a tactical switch to half-back, was a standout, alongside Jason Horne-Francis and Zak Butters, who both played with intensity and flair.

The match also served as a reminder of the power of momentum in the AFL. When Port Adelaide are firing on all cylinders, they are a force to be reckoned with, feeding off the energy of their crowd and playing with a sense of urgency that makes them unstoppable.

NFL.com’s Adam Rank turned heads this week with a bold and unexpected prediction for the New York Giants.

Instead, he urges the Giants to take a swing at Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, the top running back in the draft.

Rank explained on Mock Draft Live that this pick would be a symbolic move — a way to help Giants fans move on from Saquon Barkley’s departure to the rival Eagles. “You need a game-changer who will help the fans forget Saquon just won a Super Bowl with Philly,” Rank said. “Take Ashton now and let your fan base love again.”
