No one is "punishing" anyone. The NFL is telling Sanders what they think of him as a player.

Being an arrogant jackass just isn't enough of a deterrent for teams if they think they guy is good.

Hating the obsession with a certain prospect's circus in this thread, HOWEVER, I am loving the sheer volume of different spellings for such a popular person's first name (not even that outlandish a spelling, even for the avg NFL fan to grasp).

Not immediately but it won’t take much. Mitch is bad. 

 

I don't disagree with that, but there is no way on this planet that kid is going to be a viable option as a rookie

Don’t believe that for a second. There is not a serious human being alive with all things being equal that Dillion Gabriel is a better prospect than Sanders. Sanders and his family just aren’t worth the circus for teams 

 

This isn't "Mean Girls." If a team thought Sanders was good, he'd be drafted already.

I mean, at some point the value is there to make the pick. Is Sanders a better immediate backup than Trubisky? How about Mike White? 

No.

 

When he is drafted, so is daddy. Deion will be instrumental in driving a wedge between sonny boy and starting QB.  Bad for the team.

I must have fallen asleep for a few.  So the Cheifs got an OT, Norman-Lott, Gillotte, and Nohl Williams.  So four picks out of the first 85 selections.  The Chiefs possibly picked up 4 starters.  We might have 1 starter out of our first 3 picks.

 

Norman-Lott isn't a starter. He is a backup 3T to sit behind Jones. Don't think Gilotte will be either. He is more a bigger end so imagine he is the rotation behind Karlaftis. But he will definitely get a healthy number of snaps. Williams probably becomes a starter in nickel - when McDuffie slides inside and Williams comes in outside.

I still think SF might take a flier on him. You can't give Purdy $50MM/year if that's what he wants.

I like that being a Raiders fan nowadays means you also have to work part time in a haunted house.

They may draft Ewers instead.

They should.

Can't see the Bills going anywhere near the circus being referenced, but 100% agree that Mitchell Trubisky is awful on the field. Really hesitant.

But it is. I will say that if you are a generational talent, you can get away with it. But obviously, his talent isn’t at that level. But Dillion Gabriel is not a better prospect than Sanders. 

[GunnerBill]

Love Charles Grant. Great pick Raiders.

Nah man there is more to it than that and I get its mostly about Deion being a helicopter coach/parent and teams don't want to deal with that and are concerned about Shedeur taking coaching but there is no way he should be going after Dillon Gabriel

NFL talent evaluators apparently disagree.

[HappyDays]

Did anyone else just feel like they were having a stroke when the same person walked onto the stage and made the same exact speech?

If he had the goods someone would pick him regardless…it’s just not worth it for a guy with a medium ceiling like that

I don't think this can possibly account for his free fall entirely. Yeah, Sanders is a middling QB prospect but plenty of other guys have been drafted in premium spots regardless. This is a unique situation related to his family and football background/experience

I still say that the Sanders camp told the Browns in no uncertain terms not to draft him, and they took Gabriel just to throw salt in the wound.

Teams don't have the luxury of screwing around in the draft. Being a d###head never stopped a team from drafting talent.

Clevelands next pick.

 

Holder - Mr. Rogers - Pittsburgh

They drafted Jeanty.  They need an oline to block for him.
