The Las Vegas Raiders had ample opportunities to select quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft. Taking him at No. 6 overall would've been too rich for their blood, especially after trading for Geno Smith and extending him during the offseason.
But as the days passed and Sanders still remained on the board, there was a chance that the Raiders would take him as a mid-round backup and an eventual heir to the throne in Las Vegas. At the same time, however, there was growing concern over what was making Sanders fall so dramatically.
Of course, the Silver and Black steered clear, and Sanders landed with the Cleveland Browns.
