00:00Speaking of Shader Sanders, round four gets underway later today,

00:04and the odds have obviously moved dramatically of where he would be drafted,

00:09what team he would be going to.

00:10You would think that the Steelers would take him.

00:12You would think that the Raiders, when they traded back with the Texans,

00:16oh, the Raiders would take him once it got to them and fell a few picks.

00:19But no, that's not the case.

00:20These are the current odds of which team Shader Sanders will go to.

00:24Obviously, the Steelers are still the favorite.

00:25They still need a quarterback.

00:26Obviously, there's connection there with the Raiders.

00:29There's connection there with the Dallas Cowboys.

00:31I see a fit of those top three teams.

00:34I don't see necessarily a fit with the others.

00:36You can make the case that Stafford on his, you know, the back nine,

00:40last few years of his career, you can make a case that the Rams have a need

00:44for a quarterback at some point.

00:46I don't think it's the Jets.

00:47I don't see him going to the Colts, not the Dolphins, not the Jags.

00:51I see this as basically a top three, and that's basically it from my takeaway.

00:56The Cowboys don't have a fourth-round pick, so it's going to be a little rough

01:00for them to get him.

01:01He'd have to fall to round five here.

01:03It doesn't matter who needs a quarterback anymore.

01:06Someone could draft him at any point now because, hey, he's the best player

01:08available here, and we'll try and develop him.

01:12We're all assuming here that one of the reasons why he's fallen so much is

01:15because of his father, all right, because of Deion.

01:17And, you know, let's face it, Deion is a big-time personality,

01:20and he's certainly not going to be happy that his son fell this far.

01:24So I understand that thinking there.

01:26As a Cowboys fan, I wouldn't mind taking him, you know,

01:28and develop and see what happens.

01:29You need a backup anyway.

01:31Dak has proven he can't stay healthy.

01:33Pittsburgh, I'm looking at here, do they draft around 21?

01:36Yeah, they draft 21 again.

01:39I mean, if you wanted him, why don't you take him to round three?

01:43You know, for Pittsburgh to pass on him twice,

01:45it seems to me that they are pretty sure they're getting one of those

01:49veteran quarterbacks that I mentioned.

01:50Whether it's Aaron Rodgers, whether it's Kirk Codds, whether it's Derek Carr.

01:53They feel pretty sure, and they don't want to deal with the circus that is Sanders.

01:57You know, so I think that's what team does want to deal with it

02:00because it is going to be a circus.

02:01If you remember years ago, you know, now his name escapes me.

02:06You know, the quarterback with all the religious followers there.

02:10Boy, how annoyed.

02:12That is it.

02:13Tim Tebow.

02:13Why didn't teams take Tebow?

02:15Because everything that comes along with them.

02:17It's the same thing with Sanders here.

02:19You draft Sanders.

02:20It's everything that comes along with him for a guy who may not be a

02:22surefire starter.

02:23Coach has always said we don't like distractions.

02:26Sanders is a distraction.

02:28He's a big-time distraction.

02:29It's what it is.

02:30So maybe that's why teams stay away from him.

02:32I would be floored, Tom.

02:35Floored if he doesn't get drafted today.

02:37I mean, absolutely floored.

02:39Absolutely.

02:40There are odds up on what round he will be drafted,

02:44and him not going in the first, not going in the second,

02:46not going in the third, obviously, is a massive, massive story,

02:50just not across just the NFL but the sports landscape overall.

02:54Like you said, there's a lot going on potentially behind the scenes.

02:57There are things that we don't know and may never know on why teams are

02:59passing on him.

03:00But we will have the fourth round starting later today.

03:05I personally can't bet on any of these odds just because they're not legal

03:09here in Connecticut.

03:10But do you have an interest in any of these rounds?

03:13Would you take a shot on round four?

03:14Would you take a shot on round five?

03:16Or would you rather take a shot on a specific team?

03:19I also can't bet on this, by the way.

03:21In New York, they don't allow that.

03:23I don't know why.

03:24Do they think I know something?

03:25I'm going to call Shador Sanders and go, oh, hey,

03:27or call the Cincinnati Bengals.

03:29Listen, draft this guy.

03:30I'm just stupid.

03:31Whatever.

03:33I've been wrong on this over and over again.

03:36All right?

03:36I would have thought he was going in round one, then round two.

03:38And when he did go last night, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

03:43I want to know what is going on here.

03:45It's quarterback.

03:47All quarterback.

03:47If you can have any monocle of an arm, you get drafted.

03:50And you get drafted generally early, especially with the name value here.

03:53Stunned.

03:54I'm just beyond stunned that he's still available here.

03:57I mean, I think he goes today.

03:59I think he goes to the first round, fourth round here, I think.

04:02But am I going to tell you I'm positive or that I would put any money on it right now?

04:05If I were to put any money on this, like I said, can't do it legally, it would be,

04:09all right, 20 bucks.

04:10We'll see what happens.

04:11You know, that's what I can't tell you with Fisher.

04:13Oh, no, he's going here.

04:14You know, I can't give you any kind of analysis because he shouldn't have fallen this far.

04:17He just shouldn't have.

04:18It doesn't make any sense to me unless, as you and I are both insinuating,

04:22there's something going on here that we don't know about.

04:26Right.

04:27I think it happens today in round four.

04:30Just, again, as you've alluded to, best player available.

04:33He may not need a quarterback.

04:35You may have filled some other spots.

04:37You're like, listen, we got a wide receiver.

04:38We got a D-tackle.

04:39We got a corner.

04:39Whatever team says that.

04:41And they go, okay, we're just going to take him because he's available.

04:44He's fallen this far.

04:45We will take that.
