When I said Baker Mayfield would get looked at by the Browns with the 1st pick, (Can you seriously take Josh Allen 1st Article) I was joking. Well now, just like I said, the Browns once again couldn’t handle having a top pick, let alone picksss (#1 & #4) in this years draft.
Word on the street was that the Jets loved Baker as well and if he got to #3 they were going to take him. So if thats the case and the Browns were looking to take him at #4 and realized they couldn’t? Then fine. But I think the perfect situation there is that you take Barkley #1 so you guarantee yourself a stud running back and then you pick from whichever QBs fall into your lapp with the 4th pick. You take Barkley and let the other 2 picks that follow you figure out the QB mess, and then you have a choice from at least 2 of Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield or Josh Allen. All of those QBs ended up being top 10 picks and teams just traded up for Josh Allen (#7 Buffalo) and Rosen (#10 Zona). Worst case scenario you would have had to choose between Rosen andd Josh Allen to hand the ball off to Saquan and you have a brand new offense/backfield for 10 years.
But no, that’s too easy. Instead lets reach for a kid we could possibly get at #4. Then take a CORNERBACK??? What? You went from having a whole new young offense/backfield to Baker Mayfield and the next….who?…Joe Haden? Browns just can’t get things right. Best case scenario this kid CB from Ohio State becomes Joe Haden who had a strong like five year run in pro bowls and then got cut when he was 29.
Also look at the moneyyy. You honestly want to pay a cornerback 30 Million?? Is that the best way to use your 4th pick and 30 M’s? Unless he’s Deion I’m not taking any cornerback #4 especially with all these star QB’s in the draft. It’s not a knock on the kid drafted, I just don’t think the value of his position is worth that money or pick.
The top 3 picks will make over $30 million. The No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield, will make $32.6m all in.

Other than Mayfiled, NONE of the 3 top 10 QB’s will be any good in the Pro’s. Those clowns on ESPN and Fox, WHO WERE DEAD WRONG, need to be held accountable for their bullshit picks and mock draft errors.
How about a score card on who picked who and what was % of correct picks.
Also, according to ESPN’s panel, and FOX’s, everyone picked last night was “great” so this should be the best year ever, all these guys will be stars!! Pure bullshit…..
