Scouts, Inc. draft rating: 91
Pick overall: 1
What the draft experts were saying: "Russell Wilson is the closest NFL comparison for Mayfield in our opinion, but there are still some obvious flaws in that comp. Mayfield is one of the most polarizing players in this class, in large part due to his outstanding football character and leadership but debatable maturity. In our opinion, Mayfield grades out as a good NFL starter but he clearly comes with some red flags (measureables, footwork, played in spread offense)." - ESPN.com
Where they are now: The Browns surprised many by taking Mayfield with the first pick of the 2018 draft. The choice appeared to be a good one as Mayfield took over the starting job early in the season and led the Browns to six wins with exciting play. Before the 2022 season, he was traded to the Panthers. After five games, he was benched and later claimed off waivers by the Rams. After the season, he signed with the Bucs hoping to replace Tom Brady.
