31 teams made their first round selection on Thursday night (the Houston Texans traded), but none of them were selected Chedur Sanders.
But then two nights came and the same thing happened. In fact, the Colorado quarterback, once expected to be in the top five, didn’t even have one of the top five QBs selected.
Three more quarterbacks, Tyler Schaff, Jalen Milllow and Dillon Gabriel, were all selected on Friday. He became a saint at the age of 40, Milllow to the Seahawks at the age of 92, and Gabriel went to Cleveland at the age of 95.

In recent days, reports on Sanders have been tough, with one assistant coach saying he was “entitled” and simply saying “not that good,” but adding an official interview with him was “worst.”
ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky pointed out some plays that need to be fixed before the NFL Draft, but his colleague Stephen A. Smith doesn’t think Sanders fell at all for football reasons.
“I think the biggest problem with all of this was the Primetime Dion Sanders and the idea that we had to deal with him,” Smith said. Friday’s “First Take,” It even began a few hours before the second round.
“It’s hard to sit here today and see the guy who was once predicted to be one of the top two picks that could potentially ignore all the reports that came out about him who was completely eliminated from the first round of the draft and led to the draft.”
Sanders’ father has, of course, been quite vocal over coaching day, along with NFL rumors.
“If I’m sitting here and I think it was strictly evaluated just for his football skills and that led to him dropping out the entire first round without his dad shocking,” Smith continued.

Sanders was considered by 1B at one point as 1A of Camward. Ward separated himself and went first to Tennessee Titan overall.
However, it has become clear recently that the team does not love Sanders. The Raiders took Ashton Jeanti at 6am, and the Saint went with Kelvin Banks Jr. at the age of nine, officially starting the fall of Sanders.
All eyes were at the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21. However, no one traded up in front of them, so the Steelers’ choice came and went without a QB. They chose Derrick Harmon.
The New York Giants traded back to the first round, but they chose Jackson Dirt Instead.
And then rounds 2 and 3 happened.
The former University of Colorado star admitted that he and his family “didn’t expect” something that happened Thursday night.

“Of course, we didn’t expect this, but I feel God, everything possible, everything possible, everything possible. I don’t feel that this happened for no reason. Of course, this is the fuel for fire. Under no circumstances did this happen, but we knew it was bigger and better. The quarterback said.
“Tomorrow is that day. I’ll be happy regardless. Legend.”
If tomorrow isn’t that day, not Saturday, then perhaps the NFL world will remain silent.
