The Cleveland Browns cannot afford to whiff on this years draft

in sports •  7 years ago 

And being 20 helps him a lot. He can get 4 years under his belt he will still be younger than some rookies. I am also a big darnold fan. Mayfield is a fiery competitor IMO. Most people shy away from that personality. I agree with the size being a concern but I think his production and arm strength are decent enough to assume he should be better than most think. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.

Wouldn't you be worried about his off the field issues as well? If I were Cleveland, I would probably avoid anyone who resembles Manziel after how badly they got burned by him. Doh!

Besides grabbing his crotch I don't see anything that resembles manziel. I think the other prospects are so cookie cutter it makes Baker appear so much more of a personality. His demeanor is way overblown IMO

What about his public intoxication arrest where he tried to run from the police? Manziel was known as a partier but didn't have anything nearly as severe as this before being drafted. Then his issues with substance abuse became way more apparent and out of control post draft. I'd be worried but it doesn't look like Cleveland is. Sounds like they're planning on taking him #1 overall, we'll see how it plays out.

Again probably an over reaction. He's a college guy. There's a ton that get popped for things like that. To me it's silly when we try and act like these guys aren't kids or aren't human. People make mistakes. Big difference between the 2. Manziel was affluent and spoiled, also had zero work ethic. Mayfield was a walk on that faced a ton of adversity and won time and time again. Take that with one of the better passer ratings and on an Oklahoma team void of NFL wr talent. I'd still say it's a long shot for a Jonny football comp
