So Baker Mayfield's agent said on ESPN today, that the New England Patriots were going to move up to #2 in the draft and take Baker Mayfield if the Browns didn't select him #1. The Jets also had Baker Mayfield #1 on their board. Couple that with the fact that Rosen slid in the draft, does this validate the Browns selecting Baker Mayfield #1?

From what I gathered everyone had Baker #1, and by a wide margin


The guy has done exactly what you want in a modern qb. He is accurate, and can diagnose a playbook and defenses quickly

ESPN is really trying hard to tear the Patriots apart.

The story comes from Mayfield's agent on a podcast.

And he’ll somehow still have a chip on his shoulder even after winning the heisman and going first overall.

The melt from the NYJ would have been hilarious if the Patriots traded up and took Mayfield in front of them.

The Patriots, who traded backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers last season, had been thought to be in the market to draft Tom Brady's eventual successor this year but waited until the seventh round before picking a quarterback, selecting Danny Etling.


Poor Danny

If Baker pans out to be a good to great QB, that cop will be bragging about taking him down like a defensive end till his deathbed.

No one believed in him. Except for team drafting first. The team that was going to trade up to 2nd. And the team drafting 3rd.

Why? So the patriots are now as dumb as the browns?

Could have been a Patriot, actually drafted by the Browns. That's about as big an organizational discrepancy as you can get.
