Mike Honcho 5,096 Posted Wednesday at 01:31 PM 21 hours ago, MDC said: Which pundits were saying he was no better than a 4th rounder? Quote Perception vs. reality: Where did it go wrong? Teams weren't just spooked by attitude concerns. Several coaches and scouts - speaking anonymously to outlets like The Athletic - suggested that Sanders' film raised questions about his decision-making, pocket presence, and readiness for NFL speed. One NFC quarterbacks coach even slapped a "sixth-round" grade on him. By the end of Day 2, teams who needed quarterbacks had either found their guy or decided Sanders wasn't worth the risk. The Browns, needing depth and a potential project at the position, scooped him up with little pressure to start him early. For Sanders, this might actually be the best-case scenario: time to develop without immediate expectations crashing down. Analysts like ESPN's Merril Hoge weren't shy about their skepticism, warning that rushing Sanders onto the field could "set a franchise back two or three years." But others, like Jeff Howe of The Athletic, pointed out that while the pre-draft noise was loud, the real issue was his inconsistent tape - not necessarily the rumors about his personality. Quote CBS Sports "I think the best way to sum him up is, he's a really good college quarterback: His accuracy is good, his processing is good," Hoge said. "And when I say good, I use a scale from 1 to 10, so good is around a five. So if you're a five in college, okay? Those [accuracy and process] are the two most important aspects of transitioning to the National Football League and then you build from there. Anticipation, pocket awareness and then we start building, but those two things, if you're a five, you're not a first-rounder. You're not a franchise guy." If NFL teams felt the same way as Hoge, it's easy to see why Sanders ended up sliding. Although Sanders led all FBS quarterbacks with a 74% completion rate, Hoge said that number is distorted because Sanders threw so many screens. "Nobody threw more bubble screens than Shedeur Sanders when it mattered," Hoge said. Hoge also didn't like the fact that Sanders seemed to get worse as the 2024 season went on at Colorado, which included a 36-14 loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl where Sanders had arguably his worst game of the season. "He got worse as the year went on and then went in... the only guy I've seen have a worse bowl game than he did in my 30 years of doing his is Mitch Trubisky," Hoge said.

Go find articles where national writers will quote an actual real scout. Why do you have hard on for what Kiper, McShay, or someone at CBS has for a ranking? I do read scouts too. Many of the main scouting websites- Draft Network, Walter Football, NFL Draft Buzz, The Beast handbook- had him as a late 1st round pick at worst. I haven't read Kiper in years. I rarely read McShay. Again- it's a simple question- who did you see that was specifically saying Sanders wasn't potentially a late first round pick?

So, while media and NFL fans expressed surprise that Sanders slid out of the first round, NFL talent evaluators did not. Second or third round felt right in their minds considering the deficiencies in his game, perceived character flaws and a fear of the Deion effect (that Shedeur could heed his father’s advice over his coaches’ in times of struggle, or that the outspoken Deion would criticize any handling of Shedeur with which he disagreed). http://nytimes.com/athletic/6307646/2025/04/25/nfl-draft-shedeur-sanders-fall-not-surprise/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you want to change the parameters of the discussion. 2.) Yes I said a majority of people still had him as a late first round pick. Which would indicate some didn't.

When the Steelers didn't select him they asked 10 executives if they were surprised to see Sanders still there and all 10 said no. There was one quarterback drafted to that point. That QB went first overall and by most evaluators was better than Sanders- or at least they had a better handle on. So if you are asking someone "Hey only 1 QB has been taken to this point are you surprised it wasn't Sanders." it makes some sense the answer would be no." Additionally- I wouldn't have ranked Sanders ahead of any of the 1st round QBs in 2024 either....and NFL Draft Buzz had it super close (Sanders 88.1 and Nix 87.4) to the point that you could make a case one way or the other. 5.) And of course 2nd or 3rd round felt right- I thought he was probably a 2nd round talent but the idea was that he would go 1st round because it was a weaker class and someone would trade up to get him before someone else could. Sanders may not be a NFL elite QB like he thinks he will be but he is sure as better than Tommy Slough. He's probably going to have a better career than Dillion Gabriel and Jalen Milroe too.

Eventually though it gets to a point where the draft position becomes low enough to justify all of it. "So what, we are getting a potential first round talent" Agreed...and that's a good discussion to have over it. The other thing that happens- naturally- is when guys fall, there are some other teams who start looking and saying "Is there something we are missing?" and the snowball picks up speed rolling downhill. Sanders was the 2nd best QB in a relatively weak QB class- especially compared to 2024, 2023, 2021, 2020 (on paper with all of them at least) and that is hard to bake a value into sometimes. Because you have to account for the talent, and then what teams are willing to do to get that talent. I think the Steelers were looked at as a destination because it is clear they want Rodgers and you could sit Sanders behind him to grow. Problem that people overlooked is- Rodgers isn't going to be happy if you draft his backup right away like that while you are pursuing him. Sanders might be a product of a strong hype machine, but that strong hype machine also negatively affected him in the process here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While Kiper's drafts are a staple of the NFL pre-draft buzz, his predictions have not consistently been highly accurate. IMO, that's not a fair assessment in predicting the draft. A guy I used to follow, Bob McGinn who also predicts the draft says the more accurate way to assess accuracy is how many of they players you predict to go in the top 100 end up being selected. If you just want to use the first round the percentage of guys you predicted would get drafted in the first round compared to who was selected. Saying he only predicted 17 out 256 correctly hitting the exact spot is a poor way to analyze accuracy. If you predict one guy to go 3rd and another 4th and they flip flop, that's miss. Not in my book, you predicted both players within 1 pick, you assessed their value pretty accurately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've already embarrassed your dumb ass regarding Sanders. The point is all these idiots you quote had the same wrong process on Sanders as they had on Willis. Neither was ever first round picks for people that mattered no matter how many god damn websites you read. Nobody I read had Willis as a 1st round pick. And your example you tried to use I proved definitively wrong. You might want to sit the rest of this out champ. You tried to use NFL Mock Draft Database as a source. I mean...christ you are stupid.

What happened to your claim where I said no one could have predicted it? Produce it or shut it. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
