QB Shedeur Sanders, CLE (28 Viewers)

[Uncle Leo]

I know everyone is aware, but he’s not only Mel’s QB1, but 5th overall rated player of this draft.

He's one pundit. Insiders reporting that his interviews were off the charts bad. Really, really bad. Like Snow White bad. If he doesn't have that, all he has is hype.

Looking forward to the documentary on this.

Even the Fall of Rome wasn't this bad.

Welp, there's always the 4th round, right?

So many lessons to learn here.

Footballguys has Sanders as their #1 Rookie QB also…

Who?

 

[Dez]

Day 3 Sanders

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

And Deion thought he'd dictate where his son would play. In the NFL.

And he still might.

As a UDFA....

 

[Riffraff]

Made more in NIL than he will in his first 4 year NFL contract?

 

[N Zone]

And Deion thought he'd dictate where his son would play. In the NFL.

This isn't accurate at all.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Eisen all over Sanders jock. He’s so butthurt right now. Hilarious

 

[Capella]

Can’t get over Dillon Gabriel even being drafted, much less ahead of this guy. Staggering.

 

[Max Power]

Rich Eisen seems outright mad Sanders hasn't been drafted.

 

[Deamon]

This is wild and awesome. At this point, if you dont think he's good enough to take in the 4th round, why would you even draft him at all? Especially with the media it would come with.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Almost exactly what we were talking about here about a half hour ago.

Once you pass on a guy thrice....do you really care to have him at ANY pick?

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Hmmnn.
Is it possible that Shedeur falls out of the first round?

Obviously this fall is NOT football related.
We'll get the deets at some point.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Is this the biggest fall of any QB ever? From top 10 potential to maybe 4th round?. Guess he should have gone to the combine.

Malik Willis all over again. The only difference is that his last name isn't Sanders, and he didn't have the ESPN hype train behind him. Sanders is learning why the draft process should be taken more seriously.

He isn't that good so his daddy tried to "hide" him and let the hype do the talking instead of the workouts.

 

[ChiefD]

Deion failed his son.

And that is the sad part. He did not allow his son to succeed on his own. He should be ashamed of himself, but he won’t ever be aware of that.

Just sad.

 

[BladeRunner]

Hmmnn.

Huh? It sure is. Many pundits have said he's not that good. All hype. Again, his interviews were terrible but the game tape on him wasn't impressive either.

 

[millertyme1]

And Deion thought he'd dictate where his son would play. In the NFL.

As a UDFA....

And backfired in spectacular fashion.

Woof.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Someone prank called him posing as a GM, Shedeur and his family got visibly excited and the caller told him he’d have to keep waiting and hung up. Dislike him all you want but that’s beyond an ahole move.

I'm sure today's tweet didn't help.

[Hastur]

The child should have learned the most valuable lesson from this whole experience: When the employer wants to sit down and discuss football theory and practice, don't insist on playing a card game. It speaks volumes to being coachable. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants a QB who thinks they know it all. You have GOT to be coachable. Right now, his attitude is very telling, and you DO NOT want that in a locker room. It's toxic.

Schadenfreude is among the worst human emotions. Whoever this guy was probably shows up at golf tournaments and shouts "get in the hole" a lot.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Starting to wonder if the other 31 teams will goad KC into drafting him as Mr Irrelevant

[Chaka]

Some team with a great coach and unquestioned starting QB is going to draft this kid and flip him for a high pick in 2-3 seasons.

Probably the Chiefs.

Totally agree with you, but at the same time that prank call was totally ****ed up and it's way more sad that peeps took pleasure in it.

Tried watching the video and near as I can tell the person never posed as a GM or lied.

I think it was a low blow and I'm not rooting for the young man to have to deal with that kind of stuff but I like to keep things real.

I missed the part of the movie where Snow White did a job interview. Gonna have to go back and watch it again...

yeah, and while the kid has talent, his talent isnt so over the top that teams will still draft you anyways.

but honestly and truly I think that was a small part of the equasion. I think Deon hindered his kids upside too. it feels like he will be yapping at the coach/GM every time he feels they didnt handle his kid the right way. or worse..... yapping at the media. I wouldnt want the distraction. While he is a good prospect, hes not good enough to make me want to bring that element onto my team.

I do feel bad for the kid for the prank phone call. Thats cruel. but I'd also say thats the way the world is now. There are a lot of people who have lost all decency.

 

[stratocatter]

I kind of like Deon but this stuff with his kid has not brought out the best in him.
If you are going to talk that talk like 'he isn't going to play for just any organization' type of stuff, the game needs to be unassailable. Most people do not not want to hear that and it will stick with them. And his 2024 QB game just did not overcome that kind of baggage.

 

[Soulfly3]

Not a million years did I expect this.

Not just Kiper, but many/most/all others had him ranked VERY highly.... This is a doo-doo stain on everyone in the business, as to how out of the loop they really are when it comes to draft room knowledge.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Can anyone that thinks he's got what it takes to be a franchise QB give a little breakdown? I've watched him plenty and have seen a guy with terrible pocket presence, holds the ball way to long, average athleticism, decent accuracy if he has all day, bad teammate, a bad attitude, and just isn't that good. Since when is that a top 10 pick, or any better than a 4th or 5th? What's the bull case here? He's been a pure meme the entire time to me. So I'm curious if people see something with their own eyes, or if this has been a case of the media building him up into something he isn't and everyone just kind of goes along with it.

 

[titusbramble]

Kind of getting Bridgewater vibes in terms of how draft day might go down

I was slightly off with this one

 

[Capella]

Why do people have this impression of Deion? When has he ever done something like this?

 

[KellysHeroes]

its sad because he loves his kids and gave them everything in the world to succeed... expect one lesson in humility
but this is crazy now, pls NYJ... do it

 

[SayWhat?]

Such an interesting test case. He certainly would’ve been drafted by now (IMO), if not for the absolute circus it would bring to any team without a certifiably entrenched starter at quarterback. And even then, there are certain others (Dak, Kyler, etc) that have enough questions where it’s just basically not worth it.

Despite the upside, no GM wants the headache of “is Shadeur in line to get an opportunity” every time ________ (insert JJM, Bryce Young, Penix, etc) has a poor game.

 

[King of the Jungle]

At this point, good teams with their QB set have to start getting tempted just to have a potential good backup.

Thing is, do teams want a vocal backup? Patriots just traded their backup QB for nothing because they didn’t want the headache

Why do people have this impression of Deion? When has he ever done something like this?

Starting last spring, he talked about he only wanted his son going to certain cities, and that he should be the #1 pick, and other stuff I forgot. He hasn't been Lavar Ball, but you don't have to squint too hard to get there.

But I don't think much about what Deion has previously said. I think, and this is NOT Deion's fault, that the current media landscape is such that he will constantly be getting asked about his son in the pros. And he's not the type to give safe, boring responses. Which I respect, and support!
BUT: Sportswriting is broken in this country, right? it's just a content creation machine, and controversy makes the best content. So it's going to be one barely-a-journalist after another asking Prime about Shedeur after every game, and then running over to Coach Whoever in the NFL to ask them about what Prime said. Every week. Deion is a lazy writers dream, every week. It was a media frenzy every week, in Colorado.

Front offices and coaches are human. They all are thinking, who needs the headache? For a guy with a mid arm, who played in a simple offense, is a pocket passer, and was expecting to come into the NFL and be handed a starting job.

As a QB, I think he's a better prospect than any of the guys who went, aside from Cam. But I think all the outside noise is completely valid to pass on him.

That certainly seems like the conundrum. But starting to be worth the risk at this point, maybe this is the humble pie he needed.

I agree with pretty much all of this. And the funny thing is, we are now hearing that he will come in with a major chip on his shoulder, but he will likely have one towards the team that eventually drafts him as well. He obviously saw himself as a top draft pick (how silly does that look now?), yet will know that whatever team drafts him passed on him at least 2-3 times (depending on how many picks that team had in the draft prior to when they take him) and didn't see him as a player they just had to have.

Special place in hell for that person. Probably one of the people calling you to buy your home or sell you medical insurance.
