Mayfield, he said, made the right reads and throws, and aspects of Oklahoma’s offense may have been a preview of coming National Football League attractions, insofar as personnel from 25 to 30 National Football League teams, the analyst said, have visited with Sooners head coach and play caller Lincoln Riley to glimpse under the offense’s hood.
It’s unclear whether the Browns are considering him with one of their early picks. What the Cleveland Browns do will trickle down to everyone else.
With the draft being so close, we figured it was time to do another mock. On April 26, the Minnesota Vikings will begin the process of adding more talent to an already highly-skilled roster.
The video above (and shown below) is from NFL Daily, a Facebook Live show.
“Josh Allen, at 6’4″ and 240 pounds, he’s a beast behind the line of scrimmage. However, If you’re an optimist the positives on Allen are that his physical measurables are off the charts. His mechanics are broke, however.
Mayfield would be the kind of leader who could flourish in Jeremy Bates’ system and benefit from having Josh McCown as a mentor, and his raging swagger would play well alongside Jamal Adams and Leonard Williams.
Again, don’t read too much into this particular mock draft.
The Jets also had private workouts with Mayfield, Rosen and Allen. For the dedicated Browns fans out there, I really hope the Wyoming product is not the pick.
While there are several serviceable players at the position who should make solid contributions throughout their careers, it looks like North Carolina State’s Bradley Chubb is far and away the best at the position.
Baker Mayfield reveals a side many haven’t seen before in Sports Illustrated magazine’s latest issue. He can move around the pocket, and is daredevilish back there, holding the ball to the last second. Mayfield is what the Jets need.
When the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft commences one week from tomorrow, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield probably won’t have to wait very long to hear his name called. Lamar Jackson is viewed more as an athlete than a quarterback. This was January, and most of the experts were pegging Mayfield as a mid-first-round selection. Draft time in 2017 had people focusing on Lattimore as one of the potentially top cornerbacks in the draft.
This would also allow Barkley to not take a full workload his rookie year (unless Hyde was injured). The opportunity to get a relative cheap fifth-year option on a QB, especially if they are successful, is a smart idea.
