When could Sanders or any of the remaining quarterbacks go in the second round? Louisville quarterback Tyler Slough could be picked ahead of Sanders, making the slide down the draft boards even further. Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart were the two quarterbacks taken in Round 1, while Sanders became one of the first-round snubs .

The New Orleans weren't dissuaded. They picked Shough with the 40th pick of the NFL Draft. Notably, they passed on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to take Shough.

A third quarterback has been selected at the NFL draft and, no, it was not Shedeur Sanders. Instead, the New Orleans Saints selected Tyler Shough, the 25-year-old from Louisville, continuing the major slide for Sanders.
