Browns select Shedeur Sanders on final day after shocking NFL Draft drop
Sanders was the No. 144 pick in the draft
It's better late than never.

Shedeur Sanders had to wait until Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, but the Cleveland Browns finally called his name with the 144th overall pick in the draft's fifth round on Saturday.

The first round of the draft did not go how Sanders envisioned, as he did not hear his name get called. But no one expected the same to occur on Friday night, as three more quarterbacks were taken before him.

Wonder  if he can beat Pickett for the starting job?

I think this is a good pick.   He throws into traffic which is very risky in pros, but does have long ball ability.

Ohio State is one player away from matching Georgia with the most players taken in a draft at 15. McLaughlin is almost certainly going to be taken unless his injury is a lot worse than what was known to the public. The question is if Gee Scott will get selected to give them the record outright. One more round to go. Let’s see.

Why did the Browns select Sanders after drafting Gabriel?
Picking Gabriel over Sanders in the third round was a widespread surprise but the Browns trading up to take Sanders two rounds later usurped that. To general manager Andrew Berry, it came down to maximizing value with a pick at the game's most important position. Berry on Saturday acknowledged that he didn't enter the draft expecting to take two quarterbacks but was flexible as it unfolded. Entering Day 3, he had discussions with his staff about the possibility of targeting Sanders if he continued to fall in the draft. After teams selected multiple players whom the Browns were interested in, Berry said he ultimately decided there was too much value in selecting Sanders to pass up.

"Once it got to a point where it felt like it was a pretty steep discount, we just felt like, especially relative to the alternative ways that we could use this selection, this made the most sense," Berry said.

What a waste of a #3 pick. Gabriel in not Tarkington, Flutie, or Brees.

I’m glad to see McLaughlin go to the Bengals as a UDFA, he was considered the best available. The team can essentially RS him for a year with his achilles, C/C depth is not an immediate need.

Apparently, someone pranked Shadeur pretending to be the Saints.  It was the son of Atlanta's defensive coordinator.
