Day Three Mock Draft

This year’s draft will be talked about for years as the Shedeur Sanders draft. We’ve seen draft slides before, but never like this.

Nobody has an answer. We don’t know what happened behind closed doors in team meetings with Sanders. We are all just speculating.

So, I’m going to add my two cents, since that is the motto of my blog.

This is happening because his name is Sanders and his dad is Coach Prime. No, I’m not implying that NFL franchises have colluded to stick it to the Sanders family.

What I am implying is that his value was over inflated from the start because of his bloodline. Everyone, from the media to the fans had a higher opinion of him, because his name was Sanders, than the actual decision makers in the NFL.

Read some of the media scouting reports on Shedeur Sanders, they are basically calling him average, they don’t point out any elite traits, and then they projected him as a first rounder.

Some mention that he is a winner, having a hand in turning around two programs, but that doesn’t make him worthy of being a high round pick. The two quarterbacks from the National Championship game, Will Howard & Riley Leonard haven’t been drafted and they’ve won far more than Shedeur Sanders.

To put it as simply as I can, we were all fooled by the Sanders name and we ignored the fact that Shedeur Sanders was an average athlete with an average arm and he was always seen, by NFL scouts as a back up quarterback.

Some of the former scouts and executives now working in media may have heard the talk, some even saw it with their own eyes, but no one wanted to be the first to drop Sanders down to where he actually should have been ranked.

By not being honest in their assessments, they did all of us a disservice and they especially did Shedeur Sanders a disservice.

With that being said, here’s rounds 4 through 7:
