Well, the day has finally arrived. Fans of the Oklahoma Sooners are ready to find out where their favorite player (it’s a safe assumption) will continue his unconventional and incredible football career. It’s starting to look like Baker could end up going No. 1 overall to the Cleveland Browns, and while that obviously doesn’t seem like an ideal landing spot for a young QB, it would be incredibly cool for Mayfield and everyone in his camp.
Tonight, the dream becomes a reality.

Draft Projections
While Baker Mayfield is generally considered a lock for an early pick, things are a bit less clear for Mark Andrews, Orlando Brown and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. All three are projected by many to go on Day 2 (2nd or 3rd Round), but there isn’t really a consensus for any of them. Here are some of the 1st-Round mock drafts out there right now:
Daniel Jeremiah (NFL Network): Mayfield No. 1 to Cleveland
RJ White (CBS): Mayfield No. 5 to Buffalo (trade)
Will Brinson (CBS): Mayfield No. 5 to Miami (trade)
Mike Mayock (NFL Network): Mayfield No. 3 to New York Jets
Bucky Brooks (NFL Network): Mayfield No. 11 to Miami
Charley Casserly (NFL Network): Mayfield No. 3 to New York Jets
Mel Kiper (ESPN): Mayfield No. 1 to Cleveland

Let’s talk, Sooner fans! Give us your thoughts on this week’s events down in the comments section. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of mixed feelings no matter where Baker Mayfield ends up. In fact, RJ Young is already imploring the Browns not to pick Baker, and I suspect many of you feel the same way.
