There was once a time when it felt like destiny that Shedeur Sanders would wind up as a Las Vegas Raider.
The Raiders needed to undergo a massive overhaul of their quarterback room, and Sanders was linking himself nonstop to the team in ways both plain and cryptic. With Sanders already having a positive relationship with Raiders minority owner Tom Brady, it felt like a matter of when, not if, the team would draft the Colorado star. In a shocking twist, however, the Raiders would trade for Geno Smith in March and draft North Dakota State product Cam Miller in the sixth round, while Sanders would watch his stock collapse until the Cleveland Browns swooped in to pick him up in the fifth round.
