During an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show," NFL Media's Tom Pelissero said it's possible that Sanders isn't even the first quarterback taken. Some NFL teams don't have a first-round grade on Sanders, partly because of how his final game went in Colorado's loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl.

Sanders has been the most talked-about quarterback all season long. However, some recent news on his projection has questioned his draft placement. According to NFL analyst Tom Pelissero, some scouts around the league are not sold on the idea that Sanders is a lock to be a Round One pick.

The pre-draft process is heating up, and Shedeur Sanders, Colorado's star quarterback, is a name generating both intrigue and debate. Surprisingly, some NFL teams don’t grade Sanders as a first-round talent—but that could work in his favor.
