Overreactions from Day 2 of the NFL Draft
The second night of the NFL Draft was noticeable but for the reason many are tired of discussing. Shedeur Sanders still has not been selected in the NFL Draft, as five quarterbacks have been taken before him. Sanders was once a projected top-10 pick!
How did Sanders fall so far in the draft? Tyler Shough (Saints), Jalen Milroe (Seahawks) and Dillon Gabriel (Browns) all were selected ahead of Sanders on Day 2. At this point, is Sanders even going to be drafted?
Fortunately, there are plenty of overreactions involving Sanders that need to be addressed. We’ll decide if they are overreactions or not, along with other highlights from Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Buckle up.
Shedeur Sanders will go undrafted
Overreaction or reality: Overreaction
Could be eating words here again (thought there was little chance Sanders wouldn’t get picked in Round 2), but three quarterbacks went on Day 2 before Sanders was selected. There sits Sanders, still waiting for his name to be called as Day 3 of the draft begins on Saturday.
Once thought as a top-10 pick, Sanders fell all the way to Round 4. Could Sanders actually fall even further and be undrafted in a year where the quarterback class was not great? This is highly unlikely but a fair question to consider heading into Saturday.
Deion Sanders is the reason Shedeur Sanders fell to Day 3
Overreaction or reality: Reality
How Deion Sanders handled the lead-in to his son’s draft is a huge reason why Shedeur fell this far in the first place. Shedeur Sanders is a better player than what some give him credit for, even with some of his deficiencies at the position. Deion Sanders is partially to blame for this fall.
This has become a case study of what not to do leading into the draft for a prospect, and it isn’t even all of Shedeur’s fault.
Jalen Milroe will beat out Sam Darnold for Seahawks QB job within two years
Overreaction or reality: Reality
There really is a lot to like about Milroe, a developmental project at quarterback who is an electric ball-carrier who can provide big plays in the passing game.
Saints reached for Tyler Shough
Overreaction or reality: Overreaction
Did not have on the bingo card Shough would be selected as the third quarterback taken in this draft, although teams seemed to like the 26-year-old signal-caller with one year of starting college experience.
Ravens have the best draft class so far
Overreaction or reality: Reality
Good players always seem to fall to the Ravens and this year is no different.
The Ravens are off to a great start in this draft, and have eight picks on Day 3. They could end up with the best draft class this year.
