Welp, it's official. 3 rounds and 102 picks over and done with, Sanders remains undrafted. Let the seething commence!

I honestly feel kinda bad for him at this point. These are levels of unfathomable embarrassment.

I would rather have Colonel Sanders as my QB tbh.

I would be borderline the same if his daddeh didn't retire his number at Colorado. Or telling teams to not bother bringing him in for a visit since he wasn't gonna be there when he drafted. Or the shit where he forced his teammates to attend his rap show under the threat of daddeh. Or throwing his O-line under the bus after a game. Or him and his daddeh repeatedly saying he's a top pick and everyone who thinks otherwise is a hater.
The man may have fucked himself and will likely never get the opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Though I can't fathom how ridiculous it would be if he turns out to be a stud and proves everyone wrong.

God it is so much fun watching these people who get paid way too much fucking money to make terrible draft analysis about who teams should pick get absolutely clowned on by the actual NFL owners. If Mel Kiper or Todd McShay or any of these fucking retards were good at evaluating talent, they would be a gm, not a talking head who only comes out around this time of the year.
While I love to watch his ego get destroyed, if he wasn't such a cocky fucker, he could definitely use this as a good thing. If I was Shedeur (thank fuck I am not) I would be hoping to get picked up by the Rams, the Dolphins, or maybe the Lions. Rams have a very old QB right now in a win now window but the rest of the team is young so once 37 year old Stafford is gone, you could plug in for a down year and then 2 years on you could be on a good team with a chance to win. The Dolphins are kinda a shit show but in 2 years, it will be a rebuild. Go there as a back up and then start when they are rebuilding. Lions with Goff are pretty set but you get a few years to at least develop behind him and in a system that could teach him some shit. Maybe he could become a decent QB that bounces around the league then like a Mariotta or Tannehill. But that's me assuming the kid who was driving around Colorado in a 500k car would stop having such an ego

So, Sanders best bet for even sniffing a starting spot now is what, getting drafted by the Colts?
Considering the QB Battle there is Richardson/Danny Derps, I’d honestly still give it to either of them over Sanders.
Yeah his interview must’ve been apocalyptic.

Considering how often NFL players get away with acting like literal lolcows (see - Antonio Brown), and how “Act like how you can afford to act” is basically a way of life for some players?

Colts are a season away from rebuilding their QB room. Sanders going there isn't likely and he probably isn't on their board
NFL teams will draft literal murderers if they are good enough. Which means Sanders isn't as talented as his dad

I don't even understand where the Sanders family gets this ego from. Sure his dad was a stud in the league, but Colorado didn't make it to the CFP, and Shedur got stuffed by the Mormons in their bowl game. It also doesn't help he's a pocket passer coming in to a league where the trend is having a mobile and athletic QB. Oh and lets's not forget just skipping the Combine.
Jalen Hurts was a two time CFP champion, the runner up for a Heisman, and a solid athlete that showed the exact kind of athletic ability the league was shifting towards valuing in QB, and even he fell to the second round. TF was suggesting Sanders be a top 5, other than aggressive media campaign by daddy?

This feels like it's giving him too much credit. He's a noodle-armed ego maniac with CTE who scrambles at the first hint of pressure, except he got his mom's athleticism.

What I'm envisioning is teams interviewed him under the pretense that he was a prospect that needed development, but he went in thinking he was pro-ready and a week one starter out of the gate since that was his selling point. A disconnect like that is fairly reasonable and also the kind of disconnect to shift interviewers from "on the fence" to "go away immediately".
Where Shedeur fucked up is not only did he not convince a single team he was week one starter, but he scared them away to the point of being drafted on day 3. No team deemed him worthy of a 3rd round pick, which is usually where prospects with talent, but have glaring flaws, are drafted. He may get lucky and get drafted in the 4th round, but now he's most likely gonna participate in the practice squad merry-go-round as a QB3 every week for a few years until:
- A team is comfortable with him at QB2.
- Flips practice squads all the damn time so teams can kick the tire to see if they see something that other's don't.
- Stop getting phone calls.
I'll admit that it's not impossible for every team to be wrong and Shedeur is the 2nd coming of Tom Brady, but he is no longer in the position to get the 2nd chances that a high draft position could afford him. Hell, he's no longer in the position to get a 1st chance barring injuries or him pulling a Russell Wilson/Dak Prescott in training camp.
It's really just amazing how much of a drop the expectation vs. reality was. QBs do tend to have the most variance, but it's typically within a round at most. Not a fucking day or two. Sometimes you'll have guys who seemingly skyrocket after the combine, only to end up where they were projected at before, but this nigga has been pre-ordained as a 1st round pick for more than a year.

I can only imagine he told his interviewers that his favorite player was post CTE Antonio Brown.

There was a pretty widespread pre-draft leak that one team's QB coach said it was the worst interview he'd ever had in his entire coaching career. Another has leaked that he facetimed his father during an interview at one point, and another said he told a team asking him to critique his tape "if you don't like my game, don't pick me".
The anonymously-sourced dissection of this slide that'll get published somewhere like the Athletic in the coming weeks is going to be a riot.

I'm starting to read into it and there's one aspect that really stands out. Shedeur has played under Neon Deon since high school. He didn't just never experience what other locker rooms are like or how other organizations are ran, but the only ones he has experienced can be described as eccentric at best (and dysfunctional at worst).
Ignoring the likely favoritism or looking the other way when niggynoggy did something dumb, Shedeur has no experience operating in a program his dad does not manage. For better or worse, his dad does not manage football programs in a manner that resembles other football programs. (IMO, it's for worse. It's only a matter of time till Colorado implodes in spectacular fashion, but I digress.) Shedeur didn't learn how to act like a QB in an environment where his dad wasn't in the same room because he never had to. Deion was always there and doing his own thing, which works (for now at least) in his football program. That shit doesn't translate anywhere else because that's the nature of how Deion runs things.
I kinda see four comingling points that explain why no one is drafting him now.
1. NFL teams don't believe Shedeur is ready to lead a team right now. He could ALWAYS lean on daddeh when there was conflict with players or coaches. Even if he didn't do it intentionally, everyone in the facility knew how things worked. Shedeur never had to develop into being THE GUY in the room, no matter how many jerseys they retire.
2. Teams don't want to risk the ensuing clownshow on a QB with average talent, whose sole success derives from an insane football program that catered heavily to him. Again, Shedeur's entire selling point is that he can be a game manager, but he's never played the game that everyone else is playing. It's always been the crazy Neon Deon show that serious programs mock.
3. He's not a freak athlete. He's doesn't have a cannon for an arm or run a 4.2. There's not nearly enough athletic talent to justify a draft pick for Shedeur when you factor in all of the development he needs.
4. I think teams are skiddish of the media snowball that'll come from this that has only gotten much much worse at day 2. Coaches do not like distractions. Coaches like distractions even less when it involves your backup, day 3 QB that may not even make the team, who's not an athletic freak of nature.

There's a fifth thing to consider that you left out:
Any coach/GM duo drafting Shadeur with an intention of starting him at any point has to worry about Coach Prime coming for their jobs.
Remember, he was saying he was going to stay coaching Jackson State all of a week before he announced he was going to Colorado and taking all his favorite players with him. His word now that he doesn't want to move up to the professional level means fuck all. And there are absolutely owners in the NFL stupid enough to sign up for the Deion show if it'll sell tickets.

Blah, blah, blah. If he's so good, why wasn't he drafted in the first 2 days?

Shedeur Sanders was prank called during the draft on Friday night
- By
- Mike Florio
The excruciating free fall of Shedeur Sanders has been streamed live. Those watching last night may have believed the plunge was over.
Shedeur believed it, too.
Via Christian Arnold of the New York Post, someone prank called Sanders on Friday, leading him to believe he was about to be drafted.
“Been waiting on you,” Shedeur says.
The caller eventually says that he’s going to “have to wait a little longer.”
Shedeur pulls the phone away and says, “What does that mean?”
He was stunned due in large part to his belief that no one had the number.
Even more stunning was that Sanders hasn’t been picked through three rounds and 102 selections. The process resumes at noon ET on Saturday.
