Los Angeles Rams Draft Shedeur Sanders in CBS Mock CBS Sports Kyle Stackpole suggests that Sanders could be available to the Rams at the 26th overall pick.

Matthew Stafford is back in Los Angeles, but the Rams have to start planning for the future at the games most important position, Stackpole wrote on March 29th.

As a result, they end the slide of Shedeur Sanders and hope he develops into their next franchise QB learning behind a likely future Hall of Famer.

Sanders, who champions the motto be legendary, led the Big 12 with 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and a 74% completion rate for the Colorado Buffaloes in 2024.

Entering the season, he was widely regarded as a top quarterback prospect.

However, the rise of Cam Ward, formerly of the Miami Hurricanes, and Jaxson Dart, formerly of the Ole Miss Rebels, has shifted the quarterback landscape.

Consequently, Sanders draft stock has seen a decline, despite the college football season concluding in February.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has shed light on the divergent opinions surrounding Sanderss draft potential, revealing that NFL teams hold a wide range of evaluations.

While some scouts project Sanders as a late first- or early second-round selection, theres a possibility that he could be drafted higher.

Many of the people Ive talked to believe that Shedeur Sanders is under consideration in that top three.

Youre talking Browns at [No.] 2, Giants at 3, although Abdul Carter, the pass rusher seems to have momentum a little bit for the Browns at 2.

Heres the tricky part with Sanders: Before I walked in here, I texted with a half-dozen or so high-level personnel people with teams.

I asked them a simple question: Do you have a first-round grade on Shedeur Sanders, Fowler stated on SportsCenter on March 29th .

Fowlers inquiries revealed a split perspective among NFL personnel.

Four said, No, [he is] more of a second-rounder.

Two said, Yes, that hes a mid-to-late first-round pick for them.

So we all know quarterbacks get pushed up; thats the way it goes.

Hes certainly worthy, it looks like, in the first round pick.

But to go in the top 3? Thats what teams are grappling with right now.

They see Cam Ward as that type of player.

They dont see Sanders as that.

This disparity highlights the challenge teams face in assessing Sanderss value, particularly when compared to other quarterback prospects like Cam Ward.
