Yeah, those measurements are great. Hands are a bit on the small side, but it didn't seem to affect him at all in college.So he isn’t Peter Dinklage’s twin after all...
He's #1 for me - I think he's going to be a great value in rookie drafts.Yeah, those measurements are great. Hands are a bit on the small side, but it didn't seem to affect him at all in college.
He's real close to being the #1 QB in my book. Still like Rosen a bit better, but Mayfield could be really good.
One NFL executive who interviewed Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield told USA Today's Mike Jones the QB "gets it."
As we always say, certain teams will mesh with certain quarterbacks and others won't. Mayfield has been in front of NFL teams quite a bit so far this draft season, going through Senior Bowl practices and now participating in NFL Combine activities.

@Soulfly3 - How would you feel about an NFL Draft where the Browns took Barkley with the first overall pick and then landed Mayfield with the fourth pick?Everything coming up Soulfly.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo passes along that there's a "very strong buzz" that the Cleveland Browns like Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield "a lot."
Mayfield will receive one of Cleveland's pre-draft official visit this spring. They're expected to meet with a number of quarterbacks in the coming weeks. We're somewhat dubious as to whether Mayfield is actually worth a top-five selection, but have yet to see any indication that teams are beginning to cool on the Heisman winner. Beyond Mayfield, both Garafolo and colleague Ian Rapoport are hearing that Penn State RB Saquon Barkley will very much be in consideration for the No. 1 selection in April.

Seems a very strong possibilty that he'd fall to 4, pretty good chance they could trade down a ways and still land him. It would be too risky if they like him enough, but potentially they could trade down to 15, Arizona could take Rosen, and Mayfield would still be there at 15.Been my dream for a solid 2mos now.
Guess he's risen up a bit after the combine. But for a while he was even being discussed as a 2nd day pick, or to the saints.That would be surprising.
I hadn't seen a mock where he wasn't taken at 5 or 6 - but obviously those things aren't definitive. A lot of times these mocks are QB heavy at the top and then when the real draft comes they do fall so I guess it could happen.Guess he's risen up a bit after the combine.

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield will meet with Dolphins officials for dinner next Tuesday in Norman (OK), then work out for the Fins privately after his Pro Day.
The Dolphins' interest in Mayfield hasn't been a secret, and likely also isn't a smokescreen considering their penchant for organizational leaks in recent years. The Fins' intentions are all too often public knowledge. The Dolphins hold the No. 11 overall pick in the draft, and Mayfield probably stands a 50-50 chance or worse of lasting that long. Miami might have to trade up to land him.

Didn't watch the game, huh?Because he felt disrespected by them not shaking his hand.Everyone knows why he grabbed his junk versus Kansas.
They didn't shake his hand because they thought he was temperamental and they wanted to get under his skin. Not that it would matter in the game but they were right.
I'm going to say he is the one that got under their skin.Because he felt disrespected by them not shaking his hand.

OMG...we know.I really hope the Jets plan wasn’t to trade up to 3 for this guy.
The Dolphins are putting Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield through a private workout on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The connection between Mayfield and the Dolphins has been a common one. The Dolphins have publicly stated Ryan Tannehill is their quarterback, but this workout and other buzz from beat writers suggest that is not the case. The Dolphins are just another team that could make a major move up in the draft.

"Cowherd believes Mayfield’s physique, attitude and playing style, combined with the Jets’ system and historic struggles finding capable quarterbacks, will put the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner’s NFL career path on a similar trajectory to that of famous flameout Johnny Manziel."
Cowherd is the worst. He's probably the dumbest, least likable personality in sports talk. He knows nothing, and just says whatever gets the most reaction. An actual herd of cows might be a better source of information."Cowherd believes Mayfield’s physique, attitude and playing style, combined with the Jets’ system and historic struggles finding capable quarterbacks, will put the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner’s NFL career path on a similar trajectory to that of famous flameout Johnny Manziel."
So it's not about Mayfield's talent alone but also because the Jets suck at the QB thing that's the problem. Talk about hedging your bets. God these clowns are getting tiresome.
...and how exactly would their "historic struggles finding capable quarterbacks" affect Mayfield?"Cowherd believes Mayfield’s physique, attitude and playing style, combined with the Jets’ system and historic struggles finding capable quarterbacks, will put the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner’s NFL career path on a similar trajectory to that of famous flameout Johnny Manziel."

and what "system" - they have a new OC this season?
So Mayfield being short and Christian Hackenberg being terrible is going to turn him into a drug addict and alcoholic?
Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline relays that a "good number of league insiders" believe the New York Jets would use the No. 3 pick on Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield if USC QB Sam Darnold is off the board.
Pauline stresses that this is just a feeling from the league insiders he has spoken with, rather than something that is definitively going to happen. Should it happen, though, the analyst believes it would be a "colossal" mistake by Gang Green. Pauline would much prefer either Josh Rosen or Josh Allen in that No. 3 spot. We're of a similar mindset, especially given the capital that the Jets surrendered to move up from No. 6. If Mayfield is indeed their target, it's not a stretch to say that he may well have been available without their trading up at all.
