Time will tell if they messed it up or not, just like any other draft. They still got a high pick at #5, and an additional 2nd rounder and 4th.
Hindsight is 20/20. They genuinely may not have expected to take Sanders. Either because of how far he fell or because of ownership mettling. Having Sanders and Hunter on the same team would add pressure to have Hunter primarily play WR (although I guess this is Jacksonville's plan anyways) to have the connection with Sanders. Also pressure to start Sanders when he is clearly a prospect that would benefit from time on the bench learning behind a vet.
Who knows, but taking a flyer on Sanders when they did was about as low-risk a draft move as they come.
