    Was meant to be an allusion to the late-breaking "stuff" on Allen... but came out more than a little disconnected.

    Better?

    Steve, for the Patriots to make that move up to #2, it would have taken their entire draft plus more to move up that high. If you remember when Bill was at Chubb's pro day he said, we won't be able to move up high enough to get you. 

    So with 20\20 hindsight, Po's dream of Barkley first, Mayfield second wasn't happening. Anyone but Baker at #1, it wasn't happening. Getting more obvious by the minute, the Teams had a far different opinion of Mayfield than the talking heads and draft wannabes did.

    What's definitely interesting about this is that the agent really had no "play" to make this statement. His guy is the #1 pick on a rookie wage scale so it's not like he's vying for a bigger deal. He'd burn bridges for future affairs if he outright lied. 

    Hoorta is right, and I'm not the one looking to believe this by any means. It's just apparent that Mayfield was much more highly rated than we thought by many teams. As I said 100 times on here, with that mind any clown who says we could have had the dude at 4 is naive. I still don't get a fuzzy feeling with the pick, but in the situation the Browns were in you draft the franchise QB 100 times out of 100 first.

    Well.....as I said before:   By objective standards,  Mayfield was the best QB in college footballs.  It was the subjective standards that seemingly held him back in a lot of opinions:    a guy his height can't do it;   he was too immature;  he was a Johnny Clone.  etc.

    No on field stuff.   The Pro Scouts apparently focused more on the on field stuff than the off field stuff.

  • Mentioned in another thread that word from the pats camp was they were posed to put together a package to move up to 6 or 7 if Mayfield fell that far.

    As h pointed out, they really did not see themselves having the ammo to move up further... which of course translates to "did not like Mayfield's value" higher than 6/7.

    I went to Purdue and saw the majority of Brees’ games. Brees was a tennis player, which many believe helped with his footwork. Rosen was also a top tennis player. Mayfield is a clown who went against miserable B12 defenses and who won’t do anything in the NFL. Dumb pick.

    So let me understand this. Despite (allegedly) living in Las Vegas, you can find nothing better to do than go onto a forum for a team you couldn't care less about and try to bait people you don't know, and who also couldn't care less about you,  into your uninformed and thoughtless conversation. Attention seeking that pathetically transparent is more than just a little sad.
