Shedeur Sanders “slides” in NFL Draft, Anthony Edwards takes down Lakers | 4.28

On today’s episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the 2025 NFL Draft and the first round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show with a deep dive on Shedeur Sanders sliding to the 5th round and why the Cleveland Browns drafted him despite already taking Dillon Gabriel (3:14). Bo proceeds to say why mock drafts are for stupid people (9:35) and that we see plenty of college players fall every year in the NFL Draft (13:20). Bo pushes back at the idea that Shedeur’s situation is similar to Colin Kaepernick’s (14:29) and that ultimately Deion Sanders is at fault for overplaying their hand (27:32). Next, Bomani moves onto the NBA playoffs where he says why we knew this wasn’t the Los Angeles Lakers year to win it all (36:11) and that he’s ready for Anthony Edwards to continue to “slay the dragon.” (39:07) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven’t Heard stories involving the ‘worst job in America,’ why robots can’t make Nike’s and Uber’s shady practices (41:36). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you’ve heard playing pickup basketball (48:54).
