A tie has been compared to kissing your sister....that's sort of the feeling I get when numerous transfers who left Florida get drafted.

The Panthers drafted 1 Gator and 2 former Gators.  Weird.

Kalel Mullings gets drafted after really only playing 1 year of RB and actually getting carries. 

Donovan Edwards goes undrafted. Man what a fall he had after that sophomore season where it looked like he could’ve been a really high pick. Just super disappointing Jr & Sr seasons. He should’ve signed a UFA contract with someone who would know how to use him. Doubt that the Jets will.

Edwards led UM in carries in zero seasons.  Whether it's because he was a backup or injured, there you have it.

Crazy how life works. 

Shedeur is a value pick in the 5th rd. Can’t lose on that, only upside. 

He’s got a real shot to be their stater by the end of the year. Deshaun Watson is done, Joe Flacco is 100 years old, Kenny Pickett literally sucks, and Dillon Gabriel is a midget without the necessary required bare minimum physical tools to excel in the NFL imo. 

Shredder might actually be their starter by years end.

still shocked he didn’t get drafted- he’s uber talented and shown more than enough flashes of what he could be. Michigan coaching staff had no idea how to properly use his skill set.

How did ESPN let their draft "gurus" - McShay and Kiper - get so embarrassingly duped by Shedeur Sanders hype? As if Deion getting both to praise Shedeur for a month straight would get a dumber franchise, like the Raiders, excited over his kid.

On the other side, it was so obvious certain teams were using the draft media to under-hype (or even slander) prospects they wanted, cooling earlier round interest in hopes of later round availability. Clearest example was WR Tetairoa McMillan getting called "lazy" all week.

These background tactics have been used before, as far back as when I started making a Saturday of watching the NFL draft in 1999, but this year it seems like the draft media puppets aren't even bothering to hide who they're tipping for.

#1 - Draft "gurus" manipulated into overhyping draft prospects for the sake of the publicity leading to a prospect potentially being drafted higher by a franchise that lets themselves get excited by the hype, and is willing to offer a larger rookie contract.

#2 - Draft "gurus" manipulated into publicly downgrading prospects due to specific franchises feeding "gurus" negative reports on specific prospects in order to potentially turn off other franchises from wanting to draft said prospect, increasing the odds that said prospect might still be available for said franchise's later pick.

#3 (new!) - Draft "gurus" manipulated by bad-faith actors in the betting market. So much betting has started pouring into the NFL Draft over the past three years that at some point it's too much for one of these "gurus" not to eventually risk taking money under the table to either overhype or downgrade a prospects for the sake of shifting a betting line on where a prospect gets drafted. Since the Draft is more of an event than an athletic competition, there aren't refs or players with a lot on the line to enlist in a scheme. It seems a scheme coordinated with a Draft "guru" would be easier to conceal and more difficult to police.

Yup started perusing the web and and source after source stated what a terrible interview he gave. Many believe he was sandbagging,also one insider stated If you take Shedeur,dad comes with him or sum such. Now that he has had his big slice of humble pie maybe he'll pin back his ears and start balling

From the Sporting News:

According to several sources, Sanders failed to impress in his interviews, to put it mildly. One assistant coach put it bluntly saying, "The worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life. He’s so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates, but the biggest thing is, he’s not that good.”

Matthew Berry of NBC Sports highlighted two sources on different teams that said that the Colorado quarterback had bad meetings. Berry suggested that Sanders was just having a bad day or trying to throw the interview if it was a team he didn't want to play for.

Vic Tafur pointed out that Raiders minority owner Tom Brady has a strong relationship with Deion and Shedeur. Still, Las Vegas passed on the quarterback at No. 37, No. 48, and No. 58. Tafur translated this as teams having doubts about the quarterback, including several reports from the NFL Combine that his interviews went very poorly.
