3 teams say they had first-round grade on QB Shedeur Sanders, AP sources say

Two general managers and one head coach were surprised Shedeur Sanders wasn’t selected Thursday night because their teams had first-round grades on him, they told The Associated Press.

Another GM told the AP he gave Sanders a second-round grade. All four have franchise QBs and spoke on condition of anonymity because Sanders is still on the draft board.

The Colorado quarterback was expected to be a top-five pick early in the draft process with some analysts listing him ahead of Cam Ward, who went No.
