Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt dives into Shedeur Sanders’ slide all the way to the 5th round of the NFL Draft, explaining why it happened to a player many believed would be selected in the Top 10. Klatt shares feedback he heard from people within the league and explains how things went from bad to worse as the picks continued to roll off the board (and why Shedeur landed in the perfect spot to prove people wrong). He also lists which teams were the biggest winners from the Draft before unveiling his Way-Too-Early Top 10 Prospects for next year’s Draft. Klatt wraps up the show by discussing the recent news around Madden Iamaleava - younger brother of Nico - as an NIL collective attempts to reclaim money paid out to him before he decided to transfer from Arkansas. He also points out why Tennessee can't have it both ways with how they've handled the Nico situation. 0:00-2:19 Intro2:20-5:34 Klatt’s 2025 NFL draft recap5:35-18:14 Why did Shedeur Sanders slide to the fifth round?18:15-21:10 Are the Browns the best landing spot for Shedeur Sanders?21:11-25:22 Klatt’s winners from the NFL Draft25:23-29:08 Klatt’s favorite moments from the NFL Draft29:09-34:31Klatt’s way too early top 10 for the 2026 Draft34:32-36:59 Arkansas NIL collective seeking to enforce buyout clause after Madden Iamaleava’s transfer to UCLA37:00-44:10 Tennessee reportedly reached out to several QBs after Iamaleava’s transfer Learn more about your ad choices.

0:04.3	he's not going in this round.
0:06.2	Then the Giants trade back in and you think, okay, wow, okay, well, what are they doing here?
0:11.2	And they take Jackson Dart.
0:12.6	So what really happened to Shador Sanders is that the league viewed him as a backup.
0:17.2	I mean, I honestly believe that that's how this went down.
0:20.7	He's got the benefit of going
0:21.9	through this process and potentially being humbled a little bit. College football has never been

1:10.0	draft that are going to be playing
1:11.0	college football next fall. I've got that. Some thoughts on some college football news,
1:16.4	NIL related as the transfer portal closed. By the way, I was texting with a few coaches
1:21.1	within college football during the draft, obviously about draft related stuff. And when that
1:25.5	portal closed, they were all just like, oh, thank God.
1:30.1	So portal is now closed and we can start getting ready for the college football season.
