Wow.
A couple of others got pranked also.
Mike Florio brought up a great point this morning in that these might have these league phones the players had and that it's bad optics on them if they prank calls continue to happen.

I personally think teams didn't have him as highly rated as mock drafters and media did. That explains him not being in the first round, he has limitations to his game.

Then he reportedly had all time bad interviews, like boondocks level foolishness. That would drop him possibly another round or two.

Then prime went on a media tour claiming he was gonna "pull an Eli" and certain teams shouldn't draft his son because he knows exactly where he wants his son to go. That would drop him even further.


And then on top of that hes black and flashy...so yeah "With the 144th pick, the Cleveland Browns select...."

Honestly I believe if he had hired an agent he could've salvaged this and been drafted on Day 2.

Shedeur realistically is a mid/late first to mid second rounder if he has good interviews.

Since he didn't interview well, is Black and arrogant (and the son of Deion) they gave him the full treatment. Either way it's on him to grind and work his way up the depth chart.

Dude better carry bags and handle whatever rookie hazing comes his way.

But....based on the tweets we've seen from Browns players, they got his back. That means Shedeur gotta work even harder and not get complacent. Gabriel probably gon be treated like shyt but I could see the white teammates and coaches having HIS back.

They definitely colluded to keep him out the first 3 rounds. Its the only reason the Brown's Dillon Gabriel pick in the 3rd round makes any sense. Browns GM said part of why they drafted him in the 5th cause they didn't think he would still be available. That tells you even the Browns didnt think he should have slipped to round 5. so why didnt they get him earlier when they had the chance? So the agreement was probably to keep him out the first 3 rounds and after that he was fair game.

Or the GM didn't actually want him and only did because Haslem the big GOP donor and Browns owner told him to draft Shedeur.
