NFL mock drafts? Man, they’re like your homie who swears they can predict the weather—sounds legit, but nine times outta ten, it’s cap. Every season, these so-called “gurus” act like they’ve unlocked the Matrix, but come draft night, their boards look like they let a toddler play with crayons. And this year? Same energy. Chris Trapasso from CBS just dropped his 2025 mock draft, and folks are not happy. Why? He’s got Jalen Milroe going fifth overall to Cleveland Browns, leapfrogging Shedeur Sanders, who’s set to land with the Raiders.

Yeah, Shedeur’s seen chopping it up with Mark Davis, and everyone knows that Vegas literally lusting over that possibility. Even Deion Sadnders wants Shedeur to get drafted by the Raiders. But putting Milroe ahead of him? That’s diabolical as it gets.

Let’s talk about Milroe first. Alabama’s QB struggled this season, and that’s putting it lightly. He threw for 15 touchdowns but also had 10 interceptions. That’s a near 1:1 ratio, which is NFL suicide. He barely managed 2,232 passing yards, and while his 67.5% completion rate looks okay on paper, it didn’t translate to Ws on the field. Bama went 9-3 and missed the playoffs in a year when even 12 teams made the cut. The worst? Milroe’s Week 13 disaster against a mediocre Oklahoma Sooners team: 11-for-26 passing, 164 yards, zero touchdowns, three picks, and just 7 rushing yards on 15 attempts. If that’s your QB, you’re in trouble.

Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders has been him. Colorado’s QB is putting up Madden stats: 3,926 passing yards, 35 TDs, a 74.2% completion rate, and just 7 picks. This man’s breaking records, winning awards, and has accuracy that makes snipers jealous. He’s already bagged the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Sheduer Sanders literally projected to be top 1 or 2 pick. Ain’t now way, Shedeur dropping behind Jalen Milroe. Shedeur is out here making defenses look silly, and somehow, CBS thinks Milroe is better? Make it make sense.

The Fans Went Crazy on CBS for Putting Jalen Milroe Over Shedeur Sanders

When CBS and 247Sports posted the mock draft on December 27, fans across the country—including Alabama diehards—couldn’t believe their eyes. Here’s a breakdown of the best reactions, and trust me, they did not hold back.

This fan started by calling out the absurdity “Milroe over Sanders is so bad it’s comical…not a chance Milroe goes anywhere that high.” This fan nailed it. Milroe at five? Over Shedeur? It’s like saying Dollar Tree is better than Amazon—just absurd. If Milroe gets drafted that high to Cleveland, the Browns must be running on the circus.

Then a bama fan with friendly fire, “As a Bama fan, Milroe at 5 is crazy 😂.” Even Milroe’s own people can’t defend this. Alabama fans have been side-eyeing their QB all season, and this mock draft feels like a practical joke. “How do these people have jobs?” A fair question. Trapasso might need to re-evaluate his draft analysis and his career, or at least start watching Shedeur’s highlight reel on loop.

This fan spoke on behalf of everybody. “Awwww hellllll nawwwwwwwwwwwawwwwwwwwww.” The most raw reaction. You can feel the frustration in the keyboard smash. This fan said what we’re all thinking: this mock draft is straight out of the Twilight Zone. This one bit outta box and plain disrespectful, “Bro, can we stop with the Milroe will be a QB in the NFL?” It’s not just about Milroe going 5th; it’s the idea that he’s even seen as a legit NFL QB prospect right now. Based on this season and this season only? Low-key debatable. Ain’t gonna lie, this one’s crazy.

Look, end of the day, mock drafts are just fan fiction for football junkies. But this one? It’s giving bad fanfic vibes. Shedeur Sanders is out here building his legacy, while Jalen Milroe is, at best, trying to figure out how to stop throwing to the other team. Whether Milroe goes high or not, one thing’s for sure—this debate just lit up the internet, and the haters are having a field day. Meanwhile, Shedeur’s on his way to play his last game in Black & Gold against BYU tonight, knowing he’s about to prove all these mock drafts wrong. Keep sleeping on him, CBS. He’ll wake y’all up soon enough.
