The Sheders Sanders slide from a projected first round selection to an eventual selection of fifth round proved to be the most polarizing theme of the NFL draft over the weekend.
The ESPN Draft analyst, Mel Kiper Jr., was one of Sanders’ firm defenders and was surprised by his fall to the Cleveland Browns. The annoying speaker of the teams was collected in the teams after Sanders was chosen, and led him to a clash between him and his colleague Colega Recovis.

The NFL Louis Riddick analyst explained to Kiper that the question was not if Sanders could play as a field marshal, but, from a team’s perspective, if they want me to play the position.
Kiper, perplexed, could not understand why a team would not want Sanders, considering that it is “one of the most difficult quarters that you have seen.” Riddick replied: “This is personal,” about the reason why Sanders fell. Kiper added that Sanders has not had a “problem outside the field.”
Davis then agreed with Riddick when he said the “draft has spoken.”
“That is the key, Mel. It is not to put a value judgment that passed correct or incorrect. “And now Shedeur Sanders has to deal with them.
The NFL investigating how the Sheders’ phone number was leaked for joke call during the draft

“And for any reason, whether he played a minute, microscopic percentage, zero percentage, or is a legitimate criticism of the way it was carried out during the draft process, this was the result. Now he has the opportunity to answer it. I think shouting at the NFL is not productive.”
Kiper put responsibility in the League for his lack of adequate evaluation when it was field marshal.
“Boomer Esiason was not happy when it was a second round selection,” Kiper said. “Tom Brady was not happy. They fell. How did they turn out? My point is, receives, the NFL has had no idea for 50 years when it comes to evaluating the field marshal.
“They have no idea what they are doing in terms of evaluating Quarterbacks. That is proof. There is evidence of that. They can say: ‘We know exactly what we are talking about with field marshal.’ They don’t.”
The debate continued from there while Kiper defended Sanders for exuding trust before the draft.
