The first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft are gone, but one major question remains: What's happening with Shedeur Sanders?
Sanders - considered by many to be the second-best quarterback prospect of the class pre-draft - has yet to be selected despite five passers having already heard their names called.
It remains unclear what has led to Sanders still being available ahead of Round 4.
"I have no answers. I really have nothing to say. I'm just disgusted. That's all I can say," longtime ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said Friday during the live broadcast.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Sanders didn't interview well and that some teams preferred other quarterbacks this year. However, Schefter added that it's "inconceivable" that the former Colorado star went undrafted after the event's first two days.
Sanders reacted to his shocking slide Friday by thanking God for "everything" on social media minutes before Round 3 was officially over.
The Tennessee Titans kicked off the draft by taking Cam Ward first overall, while the New York Giants traded back into Round 1 to land Jaxson Dart at No. 25. The New Orleans Saints then used a second-round pick on Tyler Shough before the Seattle Seahawks took Jalen Milroe and the Cleveland Browns chose Dillon Gabriel in the final picks of the third round.
Some of the NFL's biggest stars couldn't believe that Sanders wasn't among the first five QBs off the board.
"Crazy," Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes tweeted.
"I got to say, Shedeur not being picked yet is strange," wrote Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker.
"Shedeur Sanders not being drafted in the first three rounds of the NFL draft is ridiculous," said former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones also talked about Sanders during a press conference Friday evening.
"We thought and evaluated him extremely high in this draft," Jones said, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We obviously have Dak as the highest-paid player in the league.
"I have an edge, I know what winner he has in his bloodline. Consequently, with my firsthand knowledge, with my relationship with Deion (Sanders) over the years, and I watched two or three ballgames with his son, I know where the character is there. And it is great character."
