Sanders was rated as the No. 23 overall player and the No. 2 quarterback in the class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. His slide out of Days 1 and 2 was the story of the draft, as he fell to the fifth round and was the sixth quarterback taken at No. 144 overall.

Vardell was known as “Touchdown Tommy” in college, and was solid during his first two seasons with Cleveland, logging 1,013 yards on 270 carries and three touchdowns. His final two seasons, however, were limited by injuries and resulted in 19 carries through 10 games.

In a different vein, Cleveland is not putting Sanders, whom the New York Giants passed on as their franchise QB, in the best position to succeed early in his career thanks to competition. This offseason, they’ve added three other new quarterbacks: Joe Flacco (signing), Kenny Pickett (trade) and Dillon Gabriel (draft, third round).
