Cleveland Browns’ Baker Mayfield Leads the 2018 NFL Quarterback Class

The Cleveland Browns‘ Baker Mayfield’s outstanding performance propels him to the forefront of the talented quarterbacks of the 2018 draft, which many analysts are calling the most talented quarterback class since 1983, with 6 first round picks including John Elway, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly.

Although it’s way too early to draw conclusions, Baker has company with all five first-round quarterback draft picks seeing action by Game 3: Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Lamar Jackson.

Mayfield had a sensational debut, leading a Browns team to a 21-17 victory after incumbent Tyrod Taylor was completely ineffective in the first half and then suffered a concussion after repeated hits by the Jets pass rushers.
