Colorado’s QB has finally come off the board

The wait is finally over! Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sanders, who was nearly unanimously regarded as the second-best quarterback in this year’s draft, was projected to land in the first round on Thursday night. Instead, Sanders was the subject of what’s likely the biggest and most unprecedented slide in NFL history, falling into Day 3 of the draft.

Sanders lands with a Browns team that has already drafted another quarterback before Sanders: Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel. After CU’s pro day in April, Sanders had dinner with Browns executives, which went well, according to the Colorado quarterback. The Browns had nothing but kind words to say about Sanders, which now appears to be a bit farcical after the team selected six players ahead of him, including Gabriel.

The reason for Sanders’ slide is still relatively uncertain, but things have become a bit clearer on Saturday morning. A leak emerged in the early hours of Day 3 in Green Bay, alleging that Sanders was unprepared for his meeting with New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Todd McShay of The Ringer reported that the Giants felt that Sanders hadn’t prepared for an installation package that Daboll expected him to learn ahead of the interview, which caused a disagreement between the two sides.

Sanders’ slide is undoubtedly a hard pill to swallow, but it’s not all bad. At the very least, Sanders has landed in a spot where he’ll have an opportunity to prove himself and start immediately. Cleveland’s quarterback room is comprised of Deshawn Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and now Sanders. If Sanders can perform well in camp, he’ll have every opportunity to see the field in 2025.

As Day 3 of the 2025 Draft continues on, the expectation is that a couple more Buffs come off the board. If any of CU’s receivers get selected in the coming hours, we’ll be here to update you on Ralphie Report.
