1.) Actual pick: Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma
My pick: Sam Darnold QB USC
Darnold seemed to be the consensus top QB in the draft for most people and I was one of them. Darnold is only 20 years old so his ceiling still remains pretty high while being likely the safest QB. He has all the characteristics you look for in a franchise QB. His biggest negative was his turnovers. Sitting him for a year behind Taylor and working on his mechanics to reduce fumbles and limit interceptions in film study could have done wonders for him in becoming the best QB from this class.
