Shedeur Sanders: Fifth Round Steal or Right on Target?

Send us a text

Examining whether Shadur Sanders was drafted too low as Cleveland Browns' fifth-round pick and comparing his situation to other famous sons in sports. We explore the complex factors that might have influenced NFL teams' evaluations, from college performance to the potential impact of his famous father's personality.

• Shadur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round (144th pick)
• Some believe he deserved to be picked in the second or third round based on his college play
• His lack of championships or playoff appearances at Jackson State and Colorado likely affected his draft stock
• Deion Sanders' confident personality may have influenced how NFL teams evaluated his son
• Unlike Travis Hunter who showed clear first-round talent, Shadur's college dominance wasn't as definitive
• Comparison to Bronny James reveals differences in how they handle their public personas
• Lonzo Ball comparison shows how outspoken parents (LaVar Ball) can affect draft perception
• Fifth round isn't necessarily bad – Tom Brady was picked in the sixth round
• If Shadur helps turn around the Browns, it could build a tremendous legacy for him

Speaker 1 (00:01):

Get a Bucket.
I'm your host, trey, and asusual, I hope you're all having
a wonderful, wonderful day.
Today we're going to talk aboutShadur Sanders and his
comparisons to players likeBronny James or Alonzo Ball.
But before we do that, pleasemake sure to hit that like and

Comment, tell anyone who'sanyone about the show, trying to
get the ratings up a little bit, you know, just a little bit.
Like I said, ladies andgentlemen, today we're going to

(00:22):
talk about Shadur Sanders andhis comparisons like a Bronny
James or Alonzo Ball.
Kind of interesting, and let'sall right.
Cool, you know, shadur has beencool, right, he was drafted by
the Cleveland Browns.
Okay, fifth round, 144th pick.
Some people felt like you know,buddy slipped.
I get that, I get that.

(00:43):
Now, let's keep in mind allright, shador did play for
jackson state.
Then he went to colorado.
There was no championships,there was no playoff burst, like
we didn't see him in theplayoffs.
Right for the nc double.
That aspect, cool.
Um, I hear that he still playedwell enough, I think, to to say

(01:03):
that he was deserving second,third round picks.
I get that, I hear that.
My issue, though, is this,ladies and gentlemen, we're
going to act like Buddy reallydominated the way y'all talking
about.
He wasn't a definitive firstround pick to me, again, based

(01:25):
on what was displayed in college, I think, when we're talking
about first round picks, travisHunter, right like that, that's
a player who showcased firstround pick.
I don't know what else to say.
If he was that dominant,everything else I'm about to say

(01:46):
wouldn't even really matter.
But a bigger gripe that peoplehave is why they felt like he
dropped.
I'm going to be honest withy'all.
I think it was because of Deion, partly, partly.
Let's not act like Deion ain'ta little cocky, right, and I'm
certain that when you are cocky,granted, deservedly so Dion was

(02:08):
, was great, especiallyprimetime, hence the name.
I will say that might rub peoplethe wrong way.
Like we got to at leastrecognize and acknowledge that
part.
Whether y'all agree or disagree, you at least got to
acknowledge it.
I hope so.
So if that's rubbing people thewrong way, dion meaning.

(02:28):
But if you want to get back atDeion, and again, deion's been
good.
Did well at Jackson State, didwell at Colorado.
There were some eyes on himKind of turned around that
program Can't be mad at you.
Like Deion's done pretty wellon and off the field, whether

(02:49):
you're a player or a coach.
So if people are going to hate,guess what?
They're going to attack Deshaun.
So again, whether y'all believeit's right, wrong or indifferent
, I understand Shadorpotentially falling to the fifth
round and keep in mind toolet's not act like the fifth

(03:09):
round is bad because the playerwho we call the GOAT was drafted
in the sixth round.
Shout out, tom Brady is badbecause the player who we call
the goat was drafted in thesixth round.
Shout out, tom brady.
So again, let's not act likechador.
Sanders cannot have a decentcareer and pay attention to
storylines too because, well, hegoes to the browns, he turns
around that browns team likethat's a great legacy builder

(03:30):
for chador right there, justJust being honest with y'all.
So again, I understand whyShador Sanders did drop.
If you want to say he didn'tdominate in college, okay, I
hear that point.
If you want to say someone wasupset because of Dion, I hear
that point.
I wouldn't agree with thatpoint if it happened.
If that was the reason, Iunderstand.

(03:52):
But where they're kind oflosing me is they're acting like
this is the, this is the issue,or this is comparable to, uh,
brawny james.
Because see, here's the thing.
I think the comparison betweenbrawny and shador we got to
focus on shador did kind of playinto that whole ego thing.
Like shador is a little closerto Deion than we want to give

(04:15):
him credit for.
You know what I'm saying andthere's nothing wrong with that,
because you got to be confident.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm nottelling Shador not to be
confident, but in this sportsworld, in this business world,
they may want you to adapt alittle bit more so.
And when you are glossing andglossing the way that Shador has

(04:36):
again rightfully so but at thesame time when you do that, that
does bring additional attentionon you, additional question
marks on you.
So using someone like Bronnyall right, yeah, bronny got
Bron's name I can't defensivelysay he was flossing and glossing
like that.
Like they're kids, you gottalet them do that right.
But like when they're playingon the course, a little bit

(04:56):
different.
Granted, you can say productionwas different as well too.
I hear that as a person.
It doesn't seem like Bronnyflosses like that in comparison,
just me.
And again, the biggest gripefor Bronny was that they felt
like it was an entitled thingbecause of Bron trying to have

(05:16):
the Lakers draft him.
It wasn't necessarily Brawny'sactions.
People like Brawny actually,I'm sure, people like Shador as
well I'm just saying thecockiness aspect that does play
a factor when we're talkingabout acquiring people.
I also mentioned Lonzo Ball.

(05:36):
Well, let's not forget, lonzoBall was actually dominant.
See, people say that BronnyJames was trash, right, well,
context wise, you know he didhave heart issues.
I've talked about this before.
Bronny displayed top 10potential for me, but OK, cool,
situation didn't really pan outthe best.
How about with Lonzo?
For me, but okay, cool,situation didn't really pan out
the best.
How about with Lonzo Ball?

(05:58):
Because he did ball out, no punintended, but the biggest gripe
was his dad.
Now this might be a little bitmore comparable to Shador
Sanders.
Only thing was I can'tdefinitively say Dion has been

(06:19):
as bold as LeVar was when Dionwas in college.
I can't say Dion says Shador isbetter than Patrick Mahomes,
but LeVar definitely said thatabout Lonzo Ball when Lonzo Ball
was at UCLA.
So again, there's stilldifferences in this scenario.
So again, ladies and gentlemen,do I understand why Shador

(06:43):
Sanders dropped to the fifthround?
I can understand it Again whenwe're talking about dominance,
if he dominated the way TravisHunter, his teammate, did.
We're not having thisdiscussion and y'all can say
well, travis Hunter's a freak ofnature, he played on both sides
.
Well, I hear that, all right,cool.
But I mean there were otherplayers who arguably could have
been better perceived thanShador Sanders.

(07:05):
So again, ladies and gentlemen,don't shoot the messenger.
I'm not saying he can't have agood career Story, gentlemen,
don't shoot the messenger.
I'm not saying he can't have agood career.
Story's definitely not over,it's just beginning.
He put that work in Easily, cando well, Just got to put the
work in.
But I'm tired of hearing peoplesay oh, it's a problem that he

(07:26):
fell to the fifth round, orbringing up other players and
how they're perceived as cocky,when I wouldn't say that's
really cocky, that's more so.
Your, your network, like end ofday.
Shador got drafted at adecently reasonable rate.
I could again second, thirdround.
I would have thought fifthround Isn't that bad, especially

(07:48):
when we know that Tom Brady wasdrafted in the sixth round.
But, ladies and gentlemen, I amcurious what you all think
about Shador Sanders.
Was he drafted too low?
I definitely want to hear yourthoughts.
But I mean.
That concludes the end of theepisode.
