Predicting Where Colorado Star Will Land in the NFL Draft

Denver: The Colorado Buffaloes are making waves this year with two standout players, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, both eyeing early picks in the NFL draft. It’s exciting because the Buffs have never had a player go No. 1 overall. The closest was Bo Matthews, who went No. 2 back in 1974.

Hunter is a real gem, playing both receiver and cornerback. If he gets picked high, he could set records for CU. The previous highest for a receiver was Michael Westbrook at No. 4 in 1995, and for cornerbacks, it was Mark Haynes at No. 8 in 1980.

Experts are buzzing about where Hunter might land. CBS Sports thinks he could go No. 3 to the New York Giants, who need both a wide receiver and a corner. They’re impressed by Hunter’s ability to play both positions without taking a break.

ESPN also has him going No. 3 to the Giants, highlighting that they might not find a franchise QB this year. Instead, they could grab Hunter, who had an impressive season with 96 catches and four interceptions.

Pro Football Network suggests he could go No. 4 to the New England Patriots, who would love to add his star power to their roster. Meanwhile, The Sporting News predicts he might be the No. 1 pick for the Tennessee Titans, thanks to his rare talent on both sides of the ball.

Yahoo! Sports echoes the Giants’ interest, noting that Hunter could really elevate their defense while also contributing on offense. It’s all pretty thrilling for Colorado fans as they watch their stars shine in the draft spotlight.
