A whole lot of y’all and suddenly putting copious amounts of faith into NFL front office thinking and decision making.
I think there are a few unassailable facts. One, Shadeur Sanders was a very good and arguably great college QB. Two, from a talent perspective, he is a top 3 QB in this draft. Three, he has flaws preventing him from being some surefire top 3/5/15 pick. Four, he almost assuredly is a diva, and Deion brings additional bullshit into the fold. Five, NFL draft history shows that at some point, talent outweighs your off field/personal stuff and a guy with baggage is picked after a justified slide because of it.
What’s fucked up to me about this situation is that the “point” in fact five above, no matter what the draft circumstances, would’ve come well before Dillon fucking Gabriel got drafted by the neediest QB team in the entire draft outside of Pittsburgh after Cam Ward was taken one. There is no way Sanders is a Day 3 pick in this draft (and probably 80 percent of others) from a talent perspective even with the “baggage slide” built in.
That tells me something else is going on here. Yes, it’s probably Deion being a helicopter moron who made some outrageous demands that blew up in his face, but that’s not covering every cause here…
