Scouting Shedeur Sanders: Colorado quarterback similar in style, skill set to Pro Bowler Geno Smith: Geno Smith
I think it would be silly not to draft a QB that has been highly accurate in the same offensive concepts as Kevin Stefanski utilizes.
Another thing occurred to me when watching Shedeur's highlights: normally I would remind myself that obviously a highlight reel can make any QB look good, but the thing with Sanders is that he completed 74% of his throws last year. In any given game if we were to watch every throw we would, on average, only see 9-10 incomplete passes when he was throwing 36-38 times a game. Last thing: It's mind blowing that in 4 seasons as a starter between two programs he only had 5 multiple-interception games and has never thrown more than 2 in a game.
From a skill point of view, he is more of a Baker Mayfield comparison than Teddy Bridgewater or Geno Smith. About the same size. Shedeur has a faster 40-time (4.65 to 4.8). They're both highly accurate. Biggest difference is that Shedeur has a cleaner release coming out of college (because of his bad footwork Baker would have to throw the ball more violently to get it to travel on more of a tight rope. This has gotten much better since going to Tampa). Shedeur also seems to be more mature (unless you can find a video of him dodging a cop while drunk, let's not debate this).
