Baker Mayfield: Heir apparent to Tom Brady in New England?

Just how high the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner will go in the upcoming draft is still a matter of wide debate, depending on who or what source you reference.

One popular pro football publication actually has Mayfield going No. 1 overall. And the latest rumor cycling throughout the NFL is that the five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots may be considering trading up in this year’s draft to select Mayfield.

Most draft experts have the Sooner unanimous First-Team All-American falling somewhere between the third and seventh overall pick. The teams you hear Mayfield’s name associated with the most are the Cleveland Browns, who own the first and fourth picks in the first round, the New York Jets, with the third pick, and the Denver Broncos, who will select fifth.
