The Draft Bag: Final Rumors, Takes, and Questions

Let’s start with the big kahuna: the Browns are taking Baker Mayfield at #1.

I’m not 100% buying it. The media has been thirsting for a leak on #1 overall for weeks now, and Cleveland—a notoriously leaky team—has been notably tighter-lipped under the Dorsey administration. I know it’s fun to think of HC Hue Jackson as immediately breaking when he finally learned the pick, but to me, the more likely explanation is that Cleveland is continuing to keep the other 31 teams in the dark for as long as possible.

There’s of course, a better chance that it’s Baker at #1 than there was yesterday.
