Shedeur's at the point in the draft where he won't even be given a starting opportunity due to his draft capital. What's great is he doesn't have a high enough talent ceiling to win the starting spot unless the depth chart is a shithow. Teams view him as a career backup at BEST, and that's not great when you and your father are annoying niggers.

Edit: ROFL. Jalen Milroe drafted before Shedeur.

 

[Squanto Airi]

lol teams would rather take a project QB in Milroe than Sanders.

Mel is coping so hard right now

QB Dillon Gabriel, #94 to Cleveland.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Should we @ Null? I feel like this is kind of lolcow worthy even if it is Normie shit. Seriously, even the Factory of Sadness doesn’t want Sanders. @Potentially Criminal how does it feel to know that the Browns are avoiding an obvious mistake?

 

[Disrespected Pronouns]

I will give the media vultures some credit, easily the most entertaining and engaging Day 2 I can remember

Hopefully Mel Kiper pops an aneurysm live at the end of the round

The ABC coverage hasn't been as bad, but we did have a long "because he's black scouts just must be racistly confused by his lack of mobility"

I'd love to know how Shedeur's team interviews went. I imagine the nignog really did buy into his own hype where the lack of self-awareness was a massive red flag. Teams don't even want to take a flyer on him due to the drama baggage he's bringing with him.

It's just a guy dropping in a sports draft. Doesn't seem feature worthy in the slightest, and besides, all it'll do is get a bunch of people dropping in to repeat "WHY IS SPORTSBALL ON THE TOP OF MY PAGE? SPORTSBALLLLL??????"

If he or his dad had some legendary meltdown on Instagram over it or something though, I could see it.

I'm kind of out of the loop about the Shedeur bad interviews with teams and the drama with his dad. Why are all the teams hesitant to have him or like what made people not want to pick him?

Idk if there's a smoking gun. It's likely a mix of having a low ceiling and his daddeh running a media circus that led people to believe Shedeur was a top 10 pick. The fact that he still hasn't been drafted means teams never bought into the hype, and Shedeur buying into his own hype probably made the fall exponentially worse since it's at the QB position.

You can kinda be a clownshow if you're highly talented. Teams will give some leeway because either the talent is worth it or they think they can fix the person. The clownshow-talent like is A LOT more thin at QB, especially when the QB's talent level is peaking at holding the clipboard.

Welp, it's official. 3 rounds and 102 picks over and done with, Sanders remains undrafted. Let the seething commence!

 

[I.B. Niggin]

I honestly feel kinda bad for him at this point. These are levels of unfathomable embarrassment.

 

[W00K #17]

I would rather have Colonel Sanders as my QB tbh.

I would be borderline the same if his daddeh didn't retire his number at Colorado. Or telling teams to not bother bringing him in for a visit since he wasn't gonna be there when he drafted. Or the shit where he forced his teammates to attend his rap show under the threat of daddeh. Or throwing his O-line under the bus after a game. Or him and his daddeh repeatedly saying he's a top pick and everyone who thinks otherwise is a hater.

The man may have fucked himself and will likely never get the opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Though I can't fathom how ridiculous it would be if he turns out to be a stud and proves everyone wrong.

 

[Absolutego]

Man I live in fucking Seahawks Country and people are so ready to clown on Shadeur for falling so hard and not getting so far that in the end I didn't even realize Milroe was drafted by my team until I got home

God it is so much fun watching these people who get paid way too much fucking money to make terrible draft analysis about who teams should pick get absolutely clowned on by the actual NFL owners. If Mel Kiper or Todd McShay or any of these fucking retards were good at evaluating talent, they would be a gm, not a talking head who only comes out around this time of the year.



While I love to watch his ego get destroyed, if he wasn't such a cocky fucker, he could definitely use this as a good thing. If I was Shedeur (thank fuck I am not) I would be hoping to get picked up by the Rams, the Dolphins, or maybe the Lions. Rams have a very old QB right now in a win now window but the rest of the team is young so once 37 year old Stafford is gone, you could plug in for a down year and then 2 years on you could be on a good team with a chance to win. The Dolphins are kinda a shit show but in 2 years, it will be a rebuild. Go there as a back up and then start when they are rebuilding. Lions with Goff are pretty set but you get a few years to at least develop behind him and in a system that could teach him some shit. Maybe he could become a decent QB that bounces around the league then like a Mariotta or Tannehill. But that's me assuming the kid who was driving around Colorado in a 500k car would stop having such an ego

So, Sanders best bet for even sniffing a starting spot now is what, getting drafted by the Colts?

Considering the QB Battle there is Richardson/Danny Derps, I’d honestly still give it to either of them over Sanders.

But Christ, those reports of "the worst interview I've ever seen" must have been  underselling

Considering how often NFL players get away with acting like literal lolcows (see - Antonio Brown), and how “Act like how you can afford to act” is basically a way of life for some players?

Yeah his interview must’ve been apocalyptic.

Colts are a season away from rebuilding their QB room. Sanders going there isn't likely and he probably isn't on their board

NFL teams will draft literal murderers if they are good enough. Which means Sanders isn't as talented as his dad

I don't even understand where the Sanders family gets this ego from. Sure his dad was a stud in the league, but Colorado didn't make it to the CFP, and Shedur got stuffed by the Mormons in their bowl game. It also doesn't help he's a pocket passer coming in to a league where the trend is having a mobile and athletic QB. Oh and lets's not forget just skipping the Combine.

Jalen Hurts was a two time CFP champion, the runner up for a Heisman, and a solid athlete that showed the exact kind of athletic ability the league was shifting towards valuing in QB, and even he fell to the second round. TF was suggesting Sanders be a top 5, other than aggressive media campaign by daddy?
