Talk about perhaps the biggest drop from the end of the college season to the draft.   The man went from being talked about as a potential top 2 pick to not being drafted in round one.

He was the consensus number one going into the 2024 college season.

Prior to the Colorado Bowl game, half the evaluators were saying he was the best QB in the draft

He is a confident guy he is going to be alright.

Draft guys, how far do you think he will slide?

Might be taken by the Browns with one of their two picks (1 and 5) or the Saints with their 8th

Part of me would even be a little surprised if he gets past New Orleans.

I think he/his dad knew this was gonna happen and that's why he wasn't actually there.  Deion probably got some inside info like "dude, it's not gonna happen, stay home "

It's kind of funny.  During the draft process, we often heard how Sanders was being over-valued because of his last name.  I suspect his dad may have been a drag on his draft stock.  Not only would there be commentary by his dad, a coach who drafted him, but he would also have to worry about his dad taking his job.

I think the media outrage over the inconceivable Sanders'
snub is galling and over the top. Ryan Clark screaming..Lewis Riddick (Deion's wing man) practically apoplectic..enough. I'm almost surprised the conspiracy card hasn't been played.

NFL evaluators showed you what they thought of him...like many of us here..underwhelmed.

From a value vs needs perspective, it's almost impossible for Clev to pass on him.

Matt,

The Browns are likely to have a bad record and will have the Jags' 1st rounder in their pocket for 2026.  It's possible they may pass on a QB only because they plan on taking one next year instead.

Raiders are still a possible spot for him too.
