I think it's very common to do with potential franchise QB's, especially when there's as much uncertainty as Shedeur has: small school, weak traits, only played for his dad.
These guys don't usually have to consider every team, because only a few teams at the top are in a position to draft them.
Unexpectedly, he was available to any team to draft. 🤣

I'm not sure. I've heard that Brady liked him, but Pete and Spytek didn't want to have the same kind of QB drama that the Falcons had to deal with last year.

I am just trying to figure out whose opinion could have that much sway amongst the league that he would drop that far. Unless he completely bombed every meeting. NFL is a copycat league. I could see if word got out that Brady didn't like his responses and was out on him that teams would reassess their positions. If the GOAT thinks you suck, that carries a lot of weight compared to some QB coach for a crappy team.
I guess it could be a cumulative thing where he pissed off a couple teams at the combine and then did poorly in interviews and the entire league decided "too much negative, this kid ain't worth it".

I think he just had too much baggage for a QB that teams mostly thought wasn't likely to be a franchise savior.

For sure. I'd probably lean towards "all of the above" as the explanation, but maybe the Browns broke rank, because they were high on his talent and wanted to humiliate him for snubbing them.
