Just watched Jalen Milroe get drafted at 92; and Gabriel selected at 94; with Sheduer still left. My question is has a quarterback in the history of the NFL draft who was generally considered by most a first round pick, slid this far? I feel like most notable slides from projected first rounders didn’t make it past round 2, and most still went in the late round 1.

As a Colorado fan, his slide to me kind of makes sense. He for sure was a talented college QB, not a generational talent; but could play at the level of an Alex Smith at KC, Ryan Tannehill at Tennessee, or Geno Smith. I do though see why teams would pass on a QB with that potential and his attitude and demeanor. He absolutely comes across as overly cocky and more concerned about stats than the team. A great example of this; is last year against NDSU near the end of the game we got a first down with about 1:50 left, and NDSU only had 1 timeout left. If we run the ball 3 straight times, even if we lost yards, they only get the ball back with 5-10 seconds left. But, on first down Sheduer changed a run play to a deep pass because, “he wanted to get Lajohntay Wester the ball” since he had a slow game. Instead, with that incomplete pass; they got the ball back with 50 seconds left and fell about 5 yards short of beating us on a Hail Mary. I feel this is a microcosm on caring more about stats and himself than the team. Also, he took a lot of bad sacks trying to make a big play, instead of throwing the ball away and moving onto the next play.

Anyway, sorry to ramble, just giving my opinion as a CU fan. I still think he can be solid, but I 100% get why teams are passing on him.
