After last year’s draft, Sanders was installed as the initial favourite to be this year’s first pick.<\/p>\n

Ward was expected to be a late-round pick but a fine season with Miami saw him usurp Sanders in January, while uncertainty grew surrounding Sanders.<\/p>\n

The New York Giants took pass rusher Abdul Carter with the third pick, before the New England Patriots chose offensive tackle Will Campbell and Cleveland claimed defensive tackle Mason Graham.<\/p>\n

In scenes reminiscent of the humbling wait Aaron Rodgers endured<\/a> during the 2005 Draft, Sanders continued to slide.<\/p>\n

And although the 23-year-old had a pre-draft meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who need a quarterback, they also snubbed him with the 21st pick.<\/p>\n

Sanders and his family were spared the ignominy of waiting in the green room in Green Bay as he was not invited to the draft.<\/p>\n

But Shedeur and his father Deion looked dismayed at a private party in their native Texas, as the Giants traded back into the first round for the 25th pick, only to take another quarterback – Jaxson Dart out of Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Sanders didn’t just fall past the 24th pick – where the Packers put Rodgers out of his misery – he fell into the second round, with Ward and Dart being the only QBs drafted on day one.<\/p>\n

Sanders will hope to finally get a call early on Friday, when the draft continues with rounds two and three.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
