NFL Draft: It's Early But I Want The Sander's and Hunter to Be Treated Fairly


Only three teams (the Giants, Browns, and Pittsburgh) needed a quarterback. Every other team in the first round didn't.
The Browns are first up today with the 33rd pick, and up again for the 36th pick. If they don't pick him up either time the Raiders might select him with the 37th pick to pair him with Ashton Jeanty.

Shedeur Sanders and family stunned after falling out of first round in NFL Draft: 'We all didn’t expect this'​


Shedeur Sanders suffered one of the most dramatic NFL Draft slides of any top quarterback prospect in recent history on Thursday night.

Sanders, who was projected by some to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft after the college football season, fell completely out of the first round and remains undrafted going into day two.

The former University of Colorado star admitted that he and his family "did not expect" what occurred on Thursday night, in footage posted by his brother Deion Sanders Jr. Still, the quarterback appears to be keeping a positive attitude and expects to be drafted on Friday.

"We all didn't expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don't feel like this happened for no reason. All of this is, of course, fuel to the fire. Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things," the quarterback said.

"Tomorrow's the day. We going to be happy regardless. Legendary."

Still, the quarterback hinted at possibly knowing that he might not get picked in the first round earlier on Thursday. Hours prior to the draft, Sanders made a social media post insisting he was prepared for whatever happened in the first round.

"I’m built for whatever today may bring," he wrote.

What the day brought was a surprising slide for Sanders, and a dent to his father and college coach's expectations.

NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders previously insisted Shedeur would be a top-five pick when he entered the draft in an X post in May 2024. That post received a community note on Thursday after Shedeur slid.

Two other quarterbacks were taken in the first round while Shedeur waited to hear his name called. The Tennessee Titans took former Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick, and the New York Giants traded back into the first round at No. 25 to take former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Several other teams that have a need at quarterback, including the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers, also passed on Sanders.

 



When you're Shadeur, you're not looking at it like I'll still make more than Joe Schmoe that works in the mill. Man went from a projected #1-3 pick to not getting drafted in the first round at all. For him, that definitely stings. He may still end up in a good situation but, money wise, he definitely took a major pay cut.
 
All the noise about teams not being bullish on Sanders because of perceived arrogance is bullshit. Yeah, he's confident, but he's been a good

teammate and player.

It is wrong how they are trying to break this young man! They have different standards for Black players and J-Z can’t fix that! Sheduer produced even with a weak line, he is an excellent student, he has never been arrested

We just watched Caleb Williams get criticized about his nails, crying after the game, not speaking to the media after losses, and even his daddy being a helicopter parent who allegedly inquired about what could be done to change how rookie contracts were done. That dude didn't do shit at the NFL Combine except interview with a handful of teams. Yet he went No. 1.

I don't know what the NFL is trying to prove here with Sanders, but it's an interesting case.
 
I saw the article on Thursday.

I will repeat what football analyst said. He was good enough to have been already drafted.

That is exactly what they’re doing! Break him, humiliate him! Make him start at the bottom! Pro athletes are “property”. Playing in the “league” is a privilege and not a right. The Mannings are the First Family of Football. An eagerness to play is conflated with entitlement and self-confidence is interpreted to be arrogance. The impact of not drafting the Sanders or other Colorado or HBCU players can’t be overstated. This is a watershed moment.
 



didn't hire an agent also

Let's take this outrage and get to building our schools - kid already been paid and grew up without ever knowing what a hard day means -

This is an example of this next generation who've been entitled, forcing ncaa to change, etc. on when they hit the real world they see these things and they have to want to do business with you
