Baker Mayfield Thread
-
he's a little douchey, but I can see why his teammates and people love him. He is definitely not afraid of the spotlight. if he balls out like we all hope, he is going to be a star.
-
I had no interest in seeing the documentary because it comes off pretty douchey that he had it made to begin with. That said, Go Browns!

Baker Mayfield better have all the intangibles his fans say he has and more. Intangibles literally oozing out of every orifice.
Because physically he possesses nothing that warrants a #1 overall pick. Not elite athleticism, not elite size, not an elite arm.

I nominate you to research said orifices. Please relay your findings to someone else to relay to the rest of us, and then hit the showers.

Nick Chubb, while he's no Saquon- put up some comparable numbers at the combine. Hyde - Chubb - Duke should be able to operate a respectable ground game.
While I had it:
Barkley - Mayfield - Oliver - Williams = RB/QB/CB/OL
They went:
Mayfield - Ward - Corbett - Chubb = QB/CB/OL/RB
Time will tell which would have been better...
Sacrificing Barkley to ensure that we got the right QB ended up being the right move for our FO.
I still think that had they taken Barkley first, the NY Giants would have been left holding the bag- thus they may have simply traded out to Cleveland who could then have taken Mayfield. We'll never really know if it would have happened that way but whatever, gotta keep moving forward.

Tour in all sincerity off of the top of your head please list the guys who have been “shutdown” corners each of the past 5 years. And by that I mean one guy being a shutdown corner each year not this guy was in 2015 but not in 2017. I’m also curious as to the teams they played for. So for example
Josh Norman Carolina, Washington
Just to be clear, you want a list of who has been shutdown corners every year for the past 5?
Patrick Peterson
Sherm when he was healthy
Chris Harris
with cases to be made for Talib & Rhodes.

Ok there is 5 out of 32 teams. My point with this whole Ward pick is you never hear “man this team is a shut down DB away” or “I think the Colts should trade up to take a shut down DB”. I don’t disagree that a strong defensive backfield is a good idea but the are bigger needs and more effective use of assets.

I don't know about that...
But it's a better value pick, IMO.

Po- tons of respect for the way you are handling the way the draft worked out vs what you were hoping. Seriously- great fan.

Just watched the mini-series. I really enjoyed it. Baker is a captivating player and person. He's a bit of an underdog which I really like. He's a "mean mix" of Colt McCoy and Kevin Hogan

theDeshone Kizer arguably had those three things
Kizer was a raw QB taken with the 52nd overall pick, who was rushed onto the field by an incompetent franchise.
Mayfield was taken with the #1 overall pick.

You mean Kizer was sort of a bad pick? I'll defer to Troy Aikman here- you can't fix inaccurate.... FWIW, you didn't hear me screaming profanities at the TV this year when Baker's name got called, unlike last year when Jim Brown anounced the now departed Kizer.

I did enough swearing for both of us.

OK who is buying one
Well, brownies do get Baked.
Hopefully not burned by this pick!!

For instance, Chubb was the BPA in many eyes but we went Ward because it was such a drastic need. People might be upset, but he's the best corner and we need to stop the freaking pass.
This IS what Dorsey did: Drafted for need. I am sure most would say you don't draft for need if you have 1 and 4......but that is what the Browns did.
QB and CB were the Browns two biggest weaknesses.
Now, those weaknesses have been addressed with the highest possible assets. Now they can fill in lesser needs in round 2. And hopefully do well.

Oh, I'm not upset and I hope I didn't come off that way. I completely understand the rationale. I think the issue some people are having is that Ward would have likely been available a little later, so why turn down one of the trades if we're taking a player likely to be available at...say....12 from the Bills? Would Ward have been there? Who knows? I get the feeling we didn't WANT to trade, and we set the trade cost SO high that basically nobody would ever accept it. We didn't care about draft value or where experts thought someone should go. We identified the guys we wanted and we took them. And you know what? I'm SO cool with that because we have a GROUP of football people making these choices that have demonstrated success in their careers. Dorsey, Highsmith, Wolfe....all are highly respected.
When you look at our team right now, and you compare it to last year's, it's very difficult NOT to see we're better, and that's the point. We have a REAL team (in my opinion) and we drafted some tough guys. Guys that like football. Ward is NOT Justin Gilbert people. Do I wish Denzel Ward had the physical size of Gilbert? Yes. But Ward has virtually everything else needed to make an impact in our secondary.
