2025 NFL Draft: Whose Stock is Up and Down After Week 11

Shedeur Sanders - Quarterback, Colorado Buffaloes
Stock: Up
Projected Team: New York Giants
It's hard for Shedeur Sanders's profile to rise any higher. But here we are after Week 11, and the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback's stock has never been higher.
Sanders is coming off another 290-yard effort against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. That was the seventh time he's exceeded that mark this season and the fifth time in six games that he's led the Buffaloes to 34 or more points.
It seems like a virtual lock that Sanders will be the first quarterback off the board in Green Bay. That's reflected in his betting odds, as he remains the +200 favorite to be drafted first overall.

Tetairoa McMillan - Wide Receiver, Arizona Wildcats
Stock: Down
Projected Team: Denver Broncos
Anthropometrically, few people stack up with Tetairoa McMillan. The Arizona Wildcats' 6'5" receiver was expected to deliver the Wildcats back to glory this year. Unfortunately, he failed to separate himself from the pack.
McMillan is coming off another underwhelming performance. He totaled 84 yards on six catches in Week 11, representing the third time in four weeks he's fallen below 85 receiving yards. Moreover, nearly half of his yards this season came in just two games, a 304-yard effort against the lowly New Mexico Lobos and 202 against the defensively bankrupt West Virginia Mountaineers.
Granted, some of McMillan's shortcomings are directly tied to Noah Fifita's ineffective play. Still, several teams atop the 2025 NFL Draft board could shy away from taking him as early as he was projected to go.
James Pearce Jr. - EDGE, Tennessee Volunteers
Stock: Up
Projected Team: Cincinnati Bengals
Tennessee Volunteers' edge rusher James Pearce Jr. is playing his way up the 2025 NFL Draft board.
The junior out of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been a menace this season. Pearce has sacks in six straight games while serving as a solid defender against the run.
There is no shortage of teams looking for a player of Pearce's ilk. He's projected as a late first-rounder, but if he sustains his play, he could easily move into the top half of the draft.
Carson Beck - Quarterback, Georgia Bulldogs
Stock: Down
Projected Team: New Orleans Saints
For the third time this season, Carson Beck failed to deliver when his Georgia Bulldogs needed him most. Granted, only two of those performances resulted in losses, but some teams could be apprehensive about taking a shot with the Bulldogs' quarterback early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Beck was held to 186 passing yards or fewer for the second time in three weeks. More concerningly, he's thrown seven interceptions to just two touchdowns across the three-game sample.
If Beck can't get past SEC defenses, he has little chance of succeeding at the pro level. He'll need to rebound over the season's final few weeks to salvage his draft position.
Ashton Jeanty - Running Back, Boise State Broncos
Stock: Up
Projected Team: Dallas Cowboys
Ashton Jeanty is a machine. The Boise State Broncos running back leads the nation in rushing yards and is coming off another absurd performance.
In Week 11's win over the Nevada Wolf Pack, Jeanty went off for 209 yards on 34 carries. That was his fourth straight game with more than 30 rushing attempts and the fourth time this season that he's eclipsed 200 yards in a game.
No team craves effective running more than the Dallas Cowboys right now. Wherever they pick, expect Jeanty to land.
Kyren Lacy - Wide Receiver, LSU Tigers
Stock: Down
Projected Team: Buffalo Bills
Unfortunately, Kyren Lacy's NFL profile isn't as polished as we think. The LSU Tigers' receiver was held in check against the Alabama Crimson Tide, amplifying some concerns that have risen over the past few weeks.
While he has breakaway potential, Lacy has some work to do before he excels at the pro level. Specifically, he has a lackluster 52.3% catch rate while playing with a quarterback who completes 62.7% of his throws.
Lacy falling in the draft could work out in his favor. A team like the Buffalo Bills desperately needs a top receiver, and lining up next to one of the best gunslingers in the game could help Lacy reach his professional ceiling.
Shedeur Sanders - Quarterback, Colorado Buffaloes
Stock: Up
Projected Team: New York Giants
It's hard for Shedeur Sanders's profile to rise any higher. But here we are after Week 11, and the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback's stock has never been higher.
Sanders is coming off another 290-yard effort against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. That was the seventh time he's exceeded that mark this season and the fifth time in six games that he's led the Buffaloes to 34 or more points.
