There are mixed predictions about the Colorado Buffaloes star QB Shedeur Sanders’ NFL career. Some think he’s destined for Pro Bowl greatness, while others doubt he’ll match his lofty expectations.
What’s certain is that Sanders has carried the first-round draft label since his final game as a Buff. Where he’ll land, especially with the NFL’s ever-spinning QB carousel, is unclear.
Joel Klatt’s New Mock Draft as Shedeur Sanders’ Future Takes Shape
During a recent episode of “First Things First,” Joel Klatt, a firm supporter of Sanders, shared a revelation. In his upcoming mock draft, he plans to have Sanders with the Cleveland Browns as this could be the QB’s ultimate destination.
The Fox News analyst previously had Sanders with the New York Giants in his mock draft, confident in the strong connection between Sanders and the franchise. The Giants traveled to Colorado last fall to scout Sanders and build deep connections.
However, the situation is shifting as the Giants signed seasoned free agent QBs Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston last March. With HC Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen in the hot seat next season, the team seems reluctant to hand over the reins to a rookie QB.
If the Giants are off the market, there are now few QB-needy teams. The Las Vegas Raiders were initially tied to Sanders, but on March 13, they acquired veteran Geno Smith, shaking up their quarterback plans.
There was chatter around the New Orleans Saints Derek Carr, who led the team through two poor seasons. Many believed it was time for a fresh start, but the Saints will keep him as the QB1.

Whether his name echoes in the draft room early or keeps fans on edge into the late hours of April 24, his journey promises to be incredible.
