Shedeur Sanders seems to be out of No. 1 overall contention. How far might he fall?

It's rare to see a prospect like Shedeur Sanders. Not the film — that's familiar to prospects we've seen before. But everything else? It has been a strange journey.

No one knows quite what to make of him. And if they do, they're not saying it at this point in the pre-draft process. Because — guess what — they want to keep it a secret that they want him. So while we wait for the 2025 NFL Draft, we're all trying to make sense of Sanders' mercurial nature.

Analysts initially considered Sanders the top quarterback in his class and the likely first-overall pick. But since the NFL Combine, Miami quarterback Cam Ward has eclipsed Sanders as the odds-on No. 1 overall pick by a long way. (Sanders now has the fourth-best odds.) It's fair to wonder whether Sanders even wanted to go first to the Tennessee Titans, a small-market team with a long history of failing young quarterbacks.

But what about the Cleveland Browns? You could categorize them in the same way. It's just that they have Kevin Stefanski, who runs a system that's deeply similar to what Colorado runs. 

If not Cleveland, will Sanders go No. 3 overall to the Giants? They might match best, but there's the issue of timeline, with Sanders' development track potentially taking more time than coach Brian Daboll can afford (before he gets fired). So New York might not work. 

Will Sanders go No. 6 to the Raiders? Sure, but also, they just traded for and signed Geno Smith. Might someone trade into the top 10 to snag him? Or will he somehow fall all the way to a playoff team like the Pittsburgh Steelers at 21st overall? That's possible, too.

The beauty of the draft is the not knowing. The unpredictability is where all the entertainment comes from. But with Sanders, we really don't
