I like Nick Chubb more than Barkley.  More of a pounder and just better.

NICK Chubb not even best on his team...

The real question is where and who will take Lamar Jackson.

To me, the Browns should take Barkley, Chubb, and Jackson or a Mason Rudolph later in the 3rd giving them the ability to add a day 1 starter in the middle of the defense.

Dude gets rattled by pressure. He won't be good. So, no. Not at all.

I know most people consider Michel the better NFL prospect, but evidently UGA didn't think he was the better RB. Chubb got about 70 more touches this past season.

How sure are you that Chubb can stand the kind of pounding his running style would get him in the pros?

Who knows? He's held up pretty well after tearing his ACL. I wouldn't be too concerned about him if he checked out medically. I might be more concerned with Michel's fumbling than I am Chubb's durability.

The Browns would be idiots for taking Baker at #1. If they want him, that’s fine, but trade out of the #1 spot and pick up some more picks to build an actual team. Baker will be there at 7 or 8 at least.

My take on Mayfield is that he may not be the most talented QB but he has the "It" factor.

He's a gamer.  He's like Jake Delhomme but with a lot more talent.  

I have heard NYJ will take him.   He fits the bill in NYC and probably will handle the media just fine.

He is a risk, but so is Cmc.(I thought for sure he would get hurt due to size)

Like everyone said Panthers are not drafting Stew production replacement. They are drafting an power back that can run  in-between tackle with 4.5 speed that can replace Cam's production and make sure he doesn't take those unnecessary hits as an Qb.

Also, if Panthers will be able to get him in late 2nd round (or 3rd round) since he doesn't have a lot of hype like Michel or Penny.

Baker and Lamar are the best QB prospects in this class IMO.

Still see Michel as better prospect..

My take and I’ve watched the all: Rosen will bust because he’s a sack or fumble/injury waiting to happen, Allen unproven, Darnold has a high ceiling because he is mobile and a decent downfield passer. Mayfield was the best college qb but needs to show he can perform in nfl at under 6 ft 1. Jackson has lots of potential if it can be harnessed.

In the 2 games I watched Darnold was a turnover machine did not see all the hype about him. I may have watched a small sample though. Mayfield I believe is good but as you say he has to prove he can play at NFL but Darnold didn' even play all that well in college for all the hype he got. Both have to prove they can play at NFL level I just feel Mayfield has the it factor which is contagious.

One thing that I heard a few times about Mayfield is his over all accuracy is just so much better:

Interesting look at how pin point accurate Mayfield is.  The question is that enough to be a franchise QB/#1 overall?

I dunno.  I'm not a scout, just a fan of the draft process.  I think if he was 6'3" there wouldn't be a discussion here, but size is important.
