Shedeur Sanders went from being a top-five overall choice to not even a top-five quarterback.
Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel were all elected in front of Sanders during the first three rounds of the NFL draft.
It’s an unprecedented, fantastic fall for Sanders, which some mockery even had # 1 earlier this season.

After dropping out of the first round, Sanders admitted that he “didn’t expect” fall. He even became the guilty of a prank call that told him he had to “wait a little longer.”

Maybe more teams are starting to feel like that.

Raiders have the sixth choice of fourth round, but at this point it is anyone’s guess where Sanders will land.
