Shedeur Sanders deserved to slide to the fifth round.
Sure, he has impressive accuracy, but he lacks high-end arm talent, struggles to navigate the pocket, and lacks complete self-awareness.
The latter point has been a persistent issue for the 23-year-old throughout his football career, from throwing teammates under the bus to picking up a pair of speeding tickets in quick succession when he first arrived in Cleveland.
Minor driving infractions aren't enough to get a player released, but Sanders' inability to understand his transgressions could render any potential he has on the field.
After the second day of training camp, Browns general manager Andrew Berry broke his silence on Shedeur's citations and the reaction behind the scenes.
"It's just not smart and something we've addressed with him," Berry said. "He understands the implications and consequences. It's not just about yourself. It's about the fact that you could endanger other people. It's not something that we want our guys to be doing or that they should be doing. We don't want some catastrophic accident."
Berry's serious tone is indicative of his reaction: that the organization and Shedeur are lucky that this reckless behavior didn't lead to a calamity.
Shedeur is currently at the bottom of the Cleveland depth chart and has yet to take any snaps with the starting offense. Despite the national optimism, he's closer to being a cut candidate than being the franchise signal caller at any point this season.
The next few months could determine his future in the league, but that decision could come much faster if he fails to learn his lesson.
