Baker Mayfield Thread
-
Man... I keep having this vision of Baker and Saquon - jogging up to the line of scrimmage in slow motion, a light fog and smell of rain in the distance... the camera pans toward the sideline... Josh Gordon nods and turns to look upfield... and then Njoku creeps a smile through the side of his mouth as the mist descends... what could have been?

The more I read about the draft (Peter King this morning in MMQB), the more I don't think that combination would have happened. Even if the browns took barkley at 1, it has been said that almost a dozen teams had mayfield sitting on the top of their board. I think it's possible he could have gone 2 or 3 if the browns did not grab him at 1. Hindsight is 20/20 but it's possible that teams and evaluators were not on the same "ranking" scale as media personnel.

There was also speculation that if Baker lasted till the 3 spot... Elway was gonna jump in and attempt to get him...

Please- just get over it already. In your Saquon wet dream at #1, Mayfield goes #3 to the Jets. The talking head "experts" are blasting the Browns for a lousy choice, but the more I read the more I'm convinced it was Baker at #1, or not at all. Caught one of those Sports Science things, and besides crazy accuracy, Mayfield's release time is on the level of Aaron Rodgers.
Better get your Giants jersey, because those fans are already hallucinating Super Bowl with Saquon.

the plain truth is, the Browns had zero luxury of picking Barkley at one OR four, spectaclular a rb he is.
After the pick of Mayfield, and reading what Dorsey and Jackson say the reasons were... we got the best qb for us.
If our starter qb gets hurt sometime during the first half of the season - Mayfield is so consistent, accurate and smart he
could step right in. We're in great shape. and with this draft - Chubb came along after we took our new shutdown super-cornerback.
I wonder if we would have picked Barkley with the four pick, even if he had been there. I love the way it turned out.

And I liked Chubb II @ #35 and am only sorry we didn't make a deal with NE for the move up for Sony who is just a little better IMO. But even so add him to this guy and we now have a hellofa RB room. Just voted by peers as #97 NFL player overall for 2018.

There's obviously no way to prove this, but there's NO WAY Baker gets back to us at #4. If a "half dozen" teams have their top rated QB still on the board after the first pick, you can bet your bottom dollar the phones would've been blowing up because the Browns drafted at 4, and they obviously were going to draft a QB. Btw, the Giants are on record saying Baker was THEIR top rated QB, so it's very possible they would've snatched him at 2.

Oddly...that it seems that you place value on traits you yourself seem not to possess.
As if you know anything about me, Jethro.

From my limited exposure to you, yes, I would say I know a minimal few things about you:
You are petty, pretentious and sanctimonious and ignorant. (probably because you had your own troubled background)

Well....his SN is VikingDawg. I think that may something about where his sentiment's actually lie.
I'll take a wild guess that "VikingDawg" means he's a kid whose high school nickname is the Vikings... North Canton Hoover Vikings, for example.

No....he already admitted that Viking refers to the Minnesota Vikings. I think he had some friend that died who was a Viking fan. While it is supposed to be some kind of tribute to him (which is fine).....it still makes one question his loyalties.

There, I fixed a few of your typos.

Yup... widely reported yesterday... had he fallen to the Pick 7 area, then the Pats would have tried to move up for him.

True enough but trading up to the second spot would be a pretty costly transaction. Also, as in most NFL discussion, I smell smoke. Trying to decide what the benefit would be for Bill to make the rest of the league think he wanted Baker.

can you imagine how bad the Browns would have been blasted by the media if they had selected a running back with the #1 overall pick given their desperate need for a QB? The Browns had to use the #1 on a QB, no way around it. For once, they got the top QB in the draft instead of trading down and waiting to see who fell to #22.

Another mergible thread under the Mayfield one...
I think Highsmith is reflecting his own evolution... I doubt he's reflecting Dorsey's, if Dorsey had one.

Agree... 2nd seems very stretchy.

Not sure if the same graphic will pop up as it was on my Google feed but that particular photo showed a smiling Bill Belichick...
Conspiracy? I report, you decide.

There are reports of Josh mcdaniels also possibly mentioning that they could move up. Guess the Pats wanted to work him out and he said no, he didnt think he would last to 23. All of this is really a he said she said. The only factor here is that people will say we are vindicated for taking him, because the Pats possibly wanted him at 2.

Doubtful... just serves no purpose as there will be so much onfield info generated over the next four seasons that anything said now will be overwhelmed if not long forgotten.
