IMO here are the reasons that Shedeur fell in the draft:
- Holds the ball too long,
- Takes too many bad sacks,
- Not particularly elusive, or great running the ball.
I'm guessing Shedeur is either going to be an absolute bust or an absolute stud in the NFL. Nobody has seen him behind an NFL OL, so it is really hard to tell. However, if some of the issues (above) are on him, and not a below average OL (or WRs not being able to separate off the line), he is really going to struggle in the NFL since he's never going to escape NFL defensive pressure.
I'd also agree with Medford's comments that Shedeur is generally unliked outside of the Colorado fan base. I'm not even sure how that is a controversial statement here. Fair or not, outside of my friends who are Colorado football fans, I don't know a single person who has anything good to say about Shedeur. My guess is that there are few NFL GMs or scouts that are going to put their job on the line to take a chance on a guy who is probably disliked by their team's fan base, and has some question marks about his game.
He'll likely go to a crappy team in the 2nd round. There won't be any pressure to start the guy on day 1, and everyone can take a deep breath and let his career play out the way it's going to play out.
This will certainly be an interesting thread to reflect back on in a few years.
