Well the guy is 6'8 and one of his concerns from people is he plays too upright so gonna be real hard to play G with just those two things working against him.
I get it, but I trust Thorn if he’d volunteer it as an option. Ravens have one of the best OLs in the NFL and start a 6’8 RG. All I’m saying is the guy can potentially develop into a starter somewhere here.

I can't buy into every team just being jagoffs. At first i thought it was kinda you get what you get for being such an arrogant prick but i did start feeling a little bad for the kid halfway through the 2nd round or whatever. Teams needing a QB or even teams with older vets at QB just aren't going to pass on having a chance at a QB that could be good in the NFL just to be jagoffs.
IDK man. Tyler Shough and Gabriel going over Sanders is honestly garbage and feels like the NFL trying to send some sort of message. They did the same thing when Lamar wanted a fully guaranteed contract. Obviously, I don't know what his interviews were like, but watching with my own two eyes, Sanders definitely is in the same tier as Dart. Then when you see everyone else saying the same thing, it feels more personal than anything. Talent wise, Sanders isn't a Day 3 guy, he's just not. It's whatever, but I'm starting to hope he lands with a team like the Rams and tears the NFL a new asshole.

We'll probably never know but as of now the kid is still undrafted for whatever reason or reasons. He'll go at some point today.

I think we'll get tidbits here and there later, but there seems to be truth about drafting him as a backup and being a distraction at this point. I don't relish his fall like others do, I think the NFL is better to watch when good players get the opportunity. I'm still laughing at the Saints drafting Brandon Wee, er Tyler Shough. Gonna be 26 with an injury history and supposedly isn't ready to start right away lol.

Well, I suppose it could be overblown.

But imagine your team was evaluating several players and you found out one if them drove a Rolls Royce to college campus, had legendary and dollar signs literally all over his walls and furniture, and he had a father who forced his school to play his rap music at games and forced teammates to attend his concerts.

You'd run away.
Damn I like Sanders but you have a point.

Eh all the top college guys drive flashy cars. Shit when I went to UNC, Dre Bly used to ride around in an Escalade and that was before NIL.

Sanders is undersized and probably needed to be a Fields type athlete to still warrant a 1st round pick.

I mean NFL drafts killers and rapists so just think it is more about his talent not warranting the headache.
Speaking of which. Baltimore looks scary on paper.

I'm okay with this but probably sampson or martinez would be better

If they want a pure speed guy to fit the current mold of this offense, my guy is blue from texas. His pass catching ability out of the backfield is best in the class. Lets just be the bears version if the 99 rams. Eff it pick up nick chubb to be the power/change of pace guy and use swift/blue for the speed demon pass catchers.
I like Brashard Smith for speed, but honestly Blue has the best combo of speed and run-inside ability.

Patriots. Baltimore. Denver. Those three teams have drafted extremely well thus far. KC is going to have a battle on their hands to win the AFC West this year. And much to the chagrin of my Bills fan in-laws (and me, frankly), I think Baltimore is going to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl next February.
If Josh Simmons comes back from his injury they solved their single biggest issue of the last several years. They also got help on the d line.

I agree, but I also think they're doing it just because of who he is.


Anyone that watched him play at Colorado knows that he is better than a day 3 pick. NFLN was essentially raking the NFL over the coals for what they're doing. Daniel Jeremiah is one of the best and had him ranked as the #20 player in the draft and he's dropping to day 3? Behind Tyler Shough and Dillon Gabriel? C'mon man.
Oh, well if shitty sports analysts say it, it must be true!!!

Maybe their interview with him made them realize he’s not an nfl QB. He’s more of a gifted spoiled child that nobody wants to latch their organization to.

You must be a casual fan cuz it's pretty obvious you never watched football.

Although dropping to 5th.....
The Browns might be just the place for Shedeur Sanders to make an impact....given Cleveland's shaky Qb situation
