While Shedeur Sanders continues to make waves off the field, his NFL draft stock remains a hot topic. Analysts still predict him as a top-10 pick, but his recent slide in rankings suggests he could drop to the late first round. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein believes the Cleveland Browns may trade up to grab him at No. 29.

Unlike his colleagues—Charles Davis, Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks—who project him within the top three, Zierlein attributes Sanders’ potential fall to his lack of elite arm strength.

Comparing the situation to past drafts, Zierlein noted:

“The Kenny Pickett draft, just a couple years ago, [there] was just one quarterback in the first round … [In] 2013 … EJ Manuel [went] in the first round and Geno Smith fell out.”

Despite concerns, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. still ranks Sanders as QB1 over Cam Ward, citing his accuracy and pocket presence. However, Zierlein warns he’s not a generational talent like Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson but could still have a solid NFL career.

Colin Cowherd defends Shedeur Sanders as a top NFL draft prospect

Shedeur Sanders posted remarkable numbers last season with Colorado—4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and a 75.5 QBR. On "The Herd," veteran sports analyst Colin Cowherd pushed back against the negative media portrayal of Sanders, emphasizing that he should not be compared to past draft busts like Daniel Jones.

Addressing Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest mock draft, which links Sanders to the New York Jets, Cowherd said:

“Shedeur Sanders is the consensus number two quarterback in this draft. It’s not like Daniel Jones when the Giants picked him sixth—most people didn’t think he was a first-round quarterback. Shedeur is the second-most talented quarterback in this draft.”

He also highlighted how quarterbacks are frequently over-drafted, making the criticism of Sanders unfounded:

“People get paralyzed by Shedeur Sanders being overrated. I think you’re undervaluing what he’s going to try to do … Who’s not overdrafted in the NFL at quarterback?”

Cowherd believes the New York Giants should ignore the noise and select Sanders at No. 3, pairing him with weapons like Malik Nabers and Andrew Thomas.
