Shedeur Sanders he will likely be one of the first quarterbacks to be taken off the board and whichever team lands him will have an intriguing storyline before the season begins.

Dallas has the No. 12 pick in the draft and would likely have to move up the board to be in line to select Shedeur Sanders if that’s part of the overall plan.
The star college quarterback spoke briefly with Dallas Morning News while on Tuesday night he attended the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets game.
“I think it would be great. What do you think?” he told the newspaper.
The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons after the two sides could not agree on a new contract. Dallas has a shot, but at least one former player doesn’t consider it a “wanted job.”
Troy Aikman made his opinion on the situation clear on Monday.

“I thought Mike McCarthy was going to be the head coach, so this is a little bit of a surprise to me today that he’s not going to be … It suggests there’s not a real plan,” he said before calling the playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings .
“I think the Cowboys are obviously a high-profile team. Whoever is the head coach of that team is definitely going to get a lot of attention, but I think most football people who take over the head coaching job want to do it on their terms, and that’s hard to do.
“I love the Dallas Cowboys. I played there for 12 years. I wish them the best. To say it’s a job I crave, I’m not sure I would necessarily agree with that.”
Deion Sanders he didn’t really pour cold water to the notion of taking on a job. He confirmed reports Monday that he had spoken with team owner Jerry Jones.

“Hearing with Jerry Jones is truly wonderful and intriguing,” Sanders he told ESPN. “I love Jerry and I believe in Jerry. Once you hang up the phone and process it and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything about our team, coaches, our student body and community.”
