I don't see Sanders as an NFL QB. Yes, he is the product of a hype machine in overdrive and he's been playing for his father a long time. Yet, he is physically talented as was his father. In the end, I think it's more hype than talent and thus he'll flame out after getting his millions as well as his brother and his father (back) into the NFL. Mission accomplished in my opinion regardless of his stat sheet.

Everyone passed on Sanders until the Browns couldn't resist. Multiple sources say he was a tool during team interviews, so not what you'd call coachable. IMO, even if he did have NFL talent, which is highly questionable, the Browns will snuff that out anyway and he'll join their long list of QB failures.

40 QB's since 1999.
Just wait for the circus when his brother is signed too.

So glad the Steelers passed on this guy.

Here he is, strutting around the club like celebrating like he was the #1 Overall pick, instead of a Day 3, #144 pick. A chip off the old block.

Shedeur Sanders hits Dallas clubs with rumored girlfriend and cash

He may not have been selected in the first round, but Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders sure celebrated like a top draft pick on Saturday night after his name was finally called.

Agreed, but now we're getting into the person and how they act since I didn't think the behavior is linked to the draft round.
There's plenty I don't like about Sanders. I was hoping no one drafted him. I'm just not sure criticism of how he celebrated and linking it to being a fifth round draft pick is legitimate.
I am also glad the Steelers chose not to pick him.

My take is that the Browns will hire Tomlin when the Steelers get tired of winning 9 or 10 games and missing the playoffs. Or maybe the Seahawks, since they seem to be on the scrape along above .500 routine these days. The Seahawks seem to have had a productive draft. Funny thing about that, though. Their best drafts are the ones they were panned for. They are getting all kinds of kudos for this one. It's gonna be a complete flop.

When the Bears picked a tight end at number 10, I started getting a bad feeling about where Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles were going with the O-line. Then they picked up both an offensive and defensive lineman in the second round, and I was pretty happy. As big as their needs on both side of the line are, it’s strange to feel like they may have addressed all their major problems in the offseason.

It can’t be that easy, right? That’s not the way they do things in Chicago; not in my lifetime anyway.

I don't keep up wirh college football, so it's hard to speak to the individual players, but I definitely dig the positions drafted by the Raiders. Not 100% on some of the order, but it seems like Jeanty could be a younger version of Jacobs, so I'm cool with that pick. Also picking a QB as a WR could be fun. Stats say he could run it too. Could be fun for trick plays/2pt conversion type stuff.

Man I remember being bummed in December falling out of the top three because Sanders was going to New York. That has to be a rough slide. Total douche or not I wouldn't want that for anyone.

I don't care for the man myself, but this seems a little too much criticism. Are fifth round draft picks supposed to celebrate differently than those selected in the first round?

When they're projected as a fifth-round pick, celebrate all you want, any way you want. But my sentiments are, when you slip to being a fifth-rd pick after being projected to be a first or even early second rd pick, you'd think a little humility or reality check would rise to the surface. That's what I would expect out of anybody who had fallen like that. You didn't see Brady Quinn put on a show when he fell to the second round. Just my two cents.

We'll see how he behaves in Cleveland. He should keep his mouth shut and not bring daddy into the picture. He can learn a lot from a vet who has won a Superbowl as well as a young guy who has struggled to find his place in the NFL.
