The Shedeur Sanders slide has been very entertaining. Could even reach culture-war post worthiness if looking at the various media reactions. New Orleans is on the clock so maybe posting this jinxes it, and he finally gets taken. I was a bit surprised Vegas just passed on him at 108, with Smith being 34 years of age.
He’s a decently athletic quarterback with NFL-caliber zip on short-to-intermediate throws and very, very good accuracy. Is just a touch undersized for a guy who will need to stay in the pocket in the pros. He’s going to need to learn to play within the pocket more, and to work through his progressions much faster. But ordinarily the above is a profile that gets a quarterback taken before Day 3.
And… the Saints just passed. His interviews must have been terrible. Teams do not want to deal with the circus in exchange for a prospect without elite arm talent.
I was literally composing a post about it, preparing to post it on Monday if the guy went undrafted, if the media meltdown about it rose to a fever pitch, if a major journalist/outlet stopped tiptoeing around and just flat-out accused NFL teams of racism, etc. Now that he got drafted in the 5th round and might actually get to legitimately compete for a starting job (including over the kid they just drafted two rounds ahead of him) I feel like there won’t be enough culture war meat on the bone to justify actually making a top-level post about it.
