It’s possible the Shedeur Sanders pick was a Jimmy Haslam decision rather than a football operations decision.

Sanders finished his final season at Colorado with 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns on 74 percent completion, all of which led the Big 12 Conference. Many call him "entitled" on account of who his father is, but there is no debating that the young QB has immense talent.

"I did not ever get any intel that the Cleveland Browns had him ranked high on their board," Russini said at the 14:45 mark of Tuesday's Scoop City podcast. "I think they saw that he was available in the fifth round, they met, they discussed it, and they went for it. They took a chance that maybe he can turn into something and be a player."
