Shadour Sanders Draft Debate Begins (8:08–13:00) Scott Seidenberg tweets Sanders wasn’t first-round worthy due to slow throws and being most sacked. Fezzik challenges his retroactive critique, calling it “past posting.” NFL Mock Draft Accuracy & Betting Angles (13:00–15:07) RJ notes top 25 mock drafters had Sanders as a top-40 pick.

Fezzik Acknowledges Draft Shift (15:08–16:45) Fezzik admits he panicked late and told Scott to remove a Shadour bet due to falling stock. RJ insists no expert forecasted a fifth-round fall, making it unprecedented. Deion Sanders’ Influence & Team Culture (17:26–20:13) Scott speculates Deion’s presence scared staff from honest feedback. RJ challenges the notion that positive feedback equals manipulation. Backup QB Market Dynamics (23:29–30:03) RJ compares Shadour to Tebow and Kaepernick—talented but media-heavy backups rarely stick.
