The New Orleans weren't dissuaded. They picked Shough with the 40th pick of the NFL Draft. Notably, they passed on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to take Shough.

Shedeur Sanders was not selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, and it may be a while until Sanders is picked in the second round (and this is assuming he's picked in Round 2).  CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones doesn't know if Sanders will be picked within the first 10 picks of the second round -- which are Nos.

According to many, after sliding out of the top 10, the best chance for him to land in the first round was with the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21. However, the Steelers elected to go in another direction as well, picking defensive tackle Derrick Harmon out of Oregon.
