The Raiders were one of several teams that many assumed would be interested in in Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders going into the NFL Draft and like 31 other teams, the Raiders decided to pass on the expected first-rounder.

The Shedeur Sanders slide was the story of the 2025 NFL Draft, as one of the top quarterback prospects in this class fell all the way to the fifth round. While the fall was shocking, it doesn't matter whether you're the No.

Tom Brady had a message for Shedeur Sanders when the Cleveland Browns quarterback slid from an expected first-round NFL draft pick to having to wait until Day 3 to be selected: Use it as motivation for what's to come next.
