No. 4: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma)

I think Baker Mayfield is the best quarterback prospect in the entire draft. I’ve always liked his accuracy, mobility and leadership.

And the funny thing about him is that his personality is what’s dragging him down the draft boards. Mayfield is cocky, but he oozes this charisma that can pump up any teammate.

From what I’ve seen out of him, Mayfield was born to become a leader.

And he’s an excellent football player as well. He doesn’t have the desired quarterback size, coming in at 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, but has a strong arm that can make any throw. He is also annoyingly fast like a Russell Wilson.

Actually, he’s basically a clone of Wilson. And that’s good — really good.

The Denver Broncos should pick him up with the fifth pick of the draft, but in case they pass on him, the Buffalo Bills will be getting their hands on who is, in my opinion, the best quarterback in the draft.
