Ep. 51 - Baker Mayfield vs. The Field

In the opening take, Lee explains why he's cooled on Baker Mayfield in the last week. Then Grant joins to help us critique a couple of head scratching takes from NFL expert Greg Cosell's pre-draft assessment of Mayfield (12:45). Grant looks up what people were saying about Peyton Manning before he was drafted and shockingly a decent amount of the same things are being said about Baker Mayfield (20:50). Then the guys provide their own pre-draft assessment of Mayfield including his strengths, weaknesses, and how he can transition from college to the pros (25:20). We both think Mayfield is the best QB in the class, but how do we feel about the rest of the top players? Deciding if we "Like", "Don't Like", or are "Unclear" about Sam Darnold (41:30), Josh Rosen (46:40), Josh Allen (49:00), Lamar Jackson (52:40), and Mason Rudolph (59:50). The "Hot Take of the Week" comes courtesy of the new ESPN show "Get Up" and it leads into a discussion of Baker Mayfield's chances of being the Number 1 pick in the draft (1:01:50). The guys both think Mayfield will be drafted by the Jets at No 3 (1:10:40). Of all the teams who could get Mayfield, which one is the best fit? (1:14:40) Grant opines on where some of the other OU players could get drafted this weekend (1:18:00). Finally, Lee repeats his Saquon Barkley hot take (1:20:10). | Email the show: westofeverest@gmail.com | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
