The popularity of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/shedeur-sanders/39517">Shedeur Sanders</a> cannot be denied. Yet, here we are on Day 3 of the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/nfl-draft">2025 NFL Draft</a>, where 102 players have been taken, not named Shedeur, and he is still the most talked-about NFL prospect. Most had the former Colorado QB going in the first or second round. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/article/2025-nfl-draft-mel-kipers-final-32-eligible-qb-rankings">Mel Kiper ranked</a> the son of "Coach Prime" at the top of his quarterbacks big board. Yet, here we are. 
When will Sanders' Bo Callahan-like nightmare slide end? 
Before we get to Shedeur's eventual selection, let's look at the QBs taken before him.

Shedeur Sanders Undrafted Through 3 Rounds

NFL Team: Tennessee Titans
Pick: 1st Round, 1st Overall
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/tennessee-titans-depth-chart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> selected <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/cam-ward/22788" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cam Ward</a> with the first overall selection. Ward's odds to go No. 1 were as ridiculous as -20000 ahead of the opening round.

NFL Team: New York Giants
Pick: 1st Round, 25th Overall
The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/new-york-giants-depth-chart">New York Giants</a> traded up to take <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jaxson-dart/48278">Jaxson Dart</a> over Sanders. New York sent the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/houston-texans-depth-chart">Houston Texans</a> its second-round pick (No. 34), a third-round pick (No. 99) and a third-rounder in next year's draft.

NFL Team: New Orleans Saints
Pick: 2nd Round, 40th Overall
Many thought the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/cleveland-browns-depth-chart">Cleveland Browns</a> would end the Shedeur slip at the start of the second round. Instead, they went defense, picking linebacker <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/carson-schwesinger/24151">Carson Schwesinger</a> out of UCLA with the 33rd overall pick. They snubbed Sanders again at 36 by picking former Ohio State running back <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/quinshon-judkins/38127">Quinshon Judkins</a>. 
Then, with the 40th selection and uncertainty surrounding <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/derek-carr/1084">Derek Carr</a>'s shoulder injury, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/new-orleans-saints-depth-chart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> went with a quarterback with much more mileage on him than Sanders. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/tyler-shough/20237">Tyler Shough</a> played seven seasons of college ball and is two and a half years older than Shedeur.

NFL Team: Seattle Seahawks
Pick: 3rd Round, 92nd Overall
Following Shough's second-round selection, some speculated the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/seattle-seahawks-depth-chart">Seattle Seahawks</a> might take Sanders with pick 50. Instead, Seattle went with Cam Ward's former target, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/elijah-arroyo/22713">Elijah Arroyo</a>, out of Miami. The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/las-vegas-raiders-depth-chart">Las Vegas Raiders</a> did the same thing with the 58th pick when they took former TCU wide receiver <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jack-bech/39035">Jack Bech</a>. Cleveland and Vegas again did not go quarterback at the top of the third round, and neither did the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/pittsburgh-steelers-depth-chart">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> at No. 83. After that, Seattle skipped Sanders again to pick <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jalen-milroe/19472">Jalen Milroe</a>. 
Milroe's winning pedigree, coming out of Alabama, is complemented by speed, size, and off-the-charts athleticism.

NFL Team: Cleveland Browns
Pick: 3rd Round, 94th Overall
The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/cleveland-browns-depth-chart">Cleveland Browns</a> were going to take Sanders for sure, right? Nope, instead, a few slots after Milroe, former Oregon signal-caller <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/dillon-gabriel/29382">Dillon Gabriel</a>'s name was called. The lefty is not an overwhelming physical presence at 6'0" on a good day, but with an underwhelming quarterback room in Cleveland, he might just compete for a starting gig. 
Before the third round ended, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/las-vegas-raiders-depth-chart">Las Vegas Raiders</a> had two more chances at Sanders, but went offensive line. Vegas took former Texas Tech guard <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/caleb-rogers/20841">Caleb Rogers</a> at 98 and tackle <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/charles-grant/16528">Charles Grant</a> out of William &amp; Mary with No. 99.
