Sanders finished 23rd on the final B/R NFL Scouting Department big board. He was also projected to go 20th overall on the final B/R NFL Scouting Department mock draft. He was largely considered QB2 behind Ward for much of the last couple months, but that take seemed to wane as the draft approached.

CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones doesn't know if Sanders will be picked within the first 10 picks of the second round -- which are Nos. 33 to 42. The New Orleans Saints had the No. 40 pick and selected Louisville's Tyler Shough over Sanders, making Shough the third quarterback taken in the draft.
