I feel a little bad for Shedeur.
He's definitely better then a 4th round pick.
I blame his asshole father.

Because he’s a Cleveland Brown? I get it…

Only the Browns or Jets would make that pick.

I could have seen Jerry jones insisting on drafting him.

I thank the Browns…for preventing the Jets from doing it…

Truer words have never been spoken. Although, if Dan Snyder were still the Skins owner,
they would have taken him in the 1st rd, regardless of their QB room situation.

No one should feel sorry for Shadeur. A key indicator was the decision to retire the numbers of is number. Shadeur, had he shown any leadership and respect for the players that came before him, could have/should have stopped it. It is the height or arrogance and highly disrespectful of Colorado's football history.
Apparently, teams noticed the overall smugness.
Beyond that, while he may have been an able college quarterback, anyone who looked beyond the hype saw the flaws in his game re: the pro game.
This many pro scouts aren't wrong. On top of that, teams, knowing that Sanders isn't all that, are content to wait for next year's qb class which has 5 to 6 guys that are probably better than Sanders.
He's poison to a coach & a team. Never been coached by anyone but his dad, entitled, overrated.....
...and don't think that NFL teams didn't interview his teammates - most of whom left the team.
I don't see why he should get the spot of a more deserving candidate.
I do agree that it is wrong to watch him suffer.
I don’t. He has a sense of entitlement. That’s on him.

Every father wants the best for their kid. I honestly don't understand the hate on Deion.

He built a custom draft room
…replete with his personal brand ‘Legendary’ prominently displayed.
Sorry, but I think it’s all very funny.
Some talking head made a good point...
You don't draft a back up QB who is going to be a locker room distraction with the media.
Sanders certainly will be, atleast initially.
...and he only put out the first 16 teams hats

Agree, it's funny. I don't feel the slightest bit sad for him.

Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round. Sanders can still turn chicken poop into chickn salad.
(no message)
Brady sat on a sideline and stuck with a team that didn't recognize/utilize his talent. Quite a diff

I'm not saying he is Tom Brady 2.0 but that if he dedicates himself he could do it. Will he? No

He’ll have to wake up…. Fewer and fewer do…but it’s still possible…
He was born wealthy…makes it tougher for most…
Agree. If he were a low profile grinder kid, a team would take him as a development project.
But when you build a draft room in your house with hats and the whole 9, and behave in the way that he has with the dad that he has, he's signaling that he's a problem.
this is what "4 for 40" is all about.
expect the race card any time now.
Some of the usual race baiters are already comparing him to...
...Colin Kaepernick, where they assert he's being blackballed because of his race.
I just wish they'd go away, let Sanders prove himself one way or the other, and let the results stand as the true testament to his skills.
The same people who think "Bring Your Whole Self to Work" means wear a tube top & no bra to a bank.

Except he's not better than a 4th rd pick. He's a great athlete with a strong arm, questionable
accuracy, an injury history, a complete diva the level that makes Caleb Williams embarrassed and an aspiring rapper to boot.
He's almost un-draftable as a QB by any team that values locker room culture.
His QBR was lower than Riley Leonard. Sanders is a 4th rounder at best.
He could go lower.
I don’t know how good the kid is but picking him will bring
The huge problem of his father. That has to be part of the reason. Was wondering if Jerry jones might be the only owner that might take that on. No idea if the cowboys need a QB or if any other team might want the added distraction of Deon.
On the flip side, maybe the kid didn’t do very well in his interviews with teams and that combined with the Deon factor has scared people away. Who knows
It was made quite public about his epic intreview failures.

When you draft Shedeur, you draft his dad. I see dads like this from youth sports to HS.
Retiring the kid's number is exactly what you would expect from the over the top ESPN promoted dad. GMs took notice.
Exactly.

Arm chair GMs all up in here. Kid will get drafted at some point.
The issie isn't about the contract $ because he has money. It's draft stature. He'll have to earn his keep in the NFL.
Remains to be seen.
He has the tools, and the ability
Does he have the discipline and patience?
His college stats were overinflated, due to Deion Sanders running that hybrid system between run 'n shoot and spread-option. There was very little running game in Colorado last year, and Shedeur Sanders had the best player in all of college football (Travis Hunter) as his WR1, as well as a ball hawk who helped get him all of those possessions.
Travis Hunter was absolutely unstoppable, that he could beat most double coverages, even on poorly thrown balls, and covered up a lot of flaws in Sanders' QB performance.
If anything, it's a lot like our situation in 2022, where Mike Mayer covered up a lot of flaws in Drew Pyne. Those numbers put up by Pyne were very deceiving. On paper, they looked quite good, but when someone reads the fine print, or read the whole story, anyone who wasn't part of the Drew Pyne Fan(atic) Club knew that he was the limitation.
