        QB Shedeur Sanders FINALLY Comes off the Board to the Browns in Round 5

        The Browns selected Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders with the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders played efficient, winning football across four college seasons. He began his career at Jackson State, where he led his team to a 23-3 record across the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Sanders completed 68% of his passes with 70 TDs vs. 14 INTs. He was named FCS’s top freshman in 2021 and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the top player in FCS in 2022. Sanders then followed his father, Deion, to Colorado. The Buffaloes went 4-8 in his first season but improved to 9-4 this past year. Sanders completed 71.8% of his passes at Colorado, including an FBS-best 74.0% completion rate in 2024. He’s deadly accurate on short and intermediate throws and reads defenses like a pro. But Sanders has average arm strength and lackluster pocket presence. He was sacked 94 times over the last two seasons and ranked 89th among 128 qualifying QBs in pressure-to-sack ratio in 2024. Sanders’ accuracy will shine if he gets good protection as a pro, but it could get ugly if he’s stuck behind a bad offensive line. Ultimately, there just aren’t any elite traits here to get excited about – either in real life or fantasy football.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Shedeur Sanders will join QB Dillon Gabriel (who the Browns selected in Round 3)

        The room will be crowded with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett also on the Browns.

        Sanders was certainly worth a shot in the early fifth-round to compete with Gabriel as a future player.

        But the lack of rushing doesn't offer much upside if Sanders even has a chance to become a starter.

        Dynasty Impact

        Sanders could be worth a rookie pick in a deep Superflex league, but he will have to compete to even make the roster.

        With his lack of rushing upside, he is a pass.
