But in recent days it became clear that teams did not love Sanders – Raiders took Ashton Jeanty at six o’clock, and the saints went with Kelvin Bank’s Jr. at. Nine, officially Sanders Fall started.

All eyes were at Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21. But when no one traded up in front of them, Steelers’ choice came and went without QB – they chose Derrick Harmon.

New York Giants acted back to the first round, but they chose Jaxson Dart instead.

Matthew Staffford’s age put Los Angeles Rams on warning, but they decided to pass, ending any quarterback needs in the first round.

Earlier this week, coaches at Sanders, with someone who called his formal interview “the worst,” added “that he is not so good.”

“He is so justified. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has terrible body language. He accuses teammates,” the coach continued. “But the biggest thing is that he is not so good.”

Sanders radiated confidence before the draft.

“I’m built for what today had to bring,” he posted on social media.

Browns, still needy at Quarterback, owns the first choice of the second round, so maybe Sanders won’t wait too much longer and hear his name early Friday night.

But it has certainly completely fallen.
