In this scouting report, I wanted to look at Baker Mayfield and his play at Oklahoma. With his accuracy on the run, his ability to improvise, and his intangibles, I think he's going to make a great franchise quarterback in the NFL. He has some mechanical issues where he'll throw with a stiff leg but I feel like he has an NFL arm. He is not pro ready right this minute, but could really turn into a great NFL Quarterback.

As someone who watched every OU game for the past 20 years, Baker is something special and will succeed in the NFL

[@ahrnaf4718]

False. Baker will mature and actually has passion. He will be successful.

[@ctuck157]

What busts? A injury prone Sam Bradford? Everyone knew about his injuries but Sam Bradford was such a talented thrower they had to take a chance. What other QB are you talking about. Landry Jones who went in the 3 round and has sat behind Big Ben his whole career. Wow youre smart.

[@334xThrilla]

Bro I enjoy your videos you’d smart as hell and know the game .. you’re part of the reason I’m getting better myself

[@cobyshelton3392]

His deep accuracy is actually very good too, you got some of his bad clips but he has bombs that are put on the money

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

He has some really sexy throws. Super impressed by some of them but leading receivers is a consistent issue over the middle of the field.

[@userf9113]

SirMathias 16 why one handed?

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

He literally only has one hand.

[@userf9113]

Really jeeez...

[@TheMelnTeam]

All the QBs have flaws, but Mayfield is still my favorite of the bunch to be good. In college football history there are only a handful of passers who have > 10 career YPA. On a given season, you get 0-3 passers that manage it and Mayfield is the only player in the last 15+ years to have two such seasons. The anticipation and accuracy are there, so I expect him to become a good passer with coaching. Significantly more likely in my mind than Allen.

[@dgblac0]

One of the best draft prospect breakdowns I have seen. That includes the "name" guys on ESPN and NFL Network. Great job.

[@michaelhammond7115]

Great analysis but I will say if you look at a lot of the pass plays where he 3 step whips the ball off front foot....if you really go over film, you'll that he is timing that release because the windows are closing. He understands a lot of throws aren't going to be "over" hand. His arm strength really shows up with these passes and live they have pop. He can't do it all by himself but he won't need much help, just execution. He processes so fast that the game slows down for him, pretty cool to watch him resetting his feet while he reads progression.

[@shake4259]

I would love to see Baker Mayfield sit behind Drew Brees for a few years.

[@malrulesall9669]

this dude is gonna be good

[@DavidSanchez-ut5wd]

Great video as always Your videos are the best in youtube

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

Mayfield has all the tools. He will be great if he puts the work in. We already know he has the confidence to be great. He reminds me psychologically like Dan Marino. He believes in himself, and is going to be one of the all time greats if he has the work ethic.

[@devontegreen8904]

One year later. He's second in r.o.t.y. voting for Cleveland Browns

[@yeahr1ghty]

Seems like the jets would be best fit for him and vice versa (if Cousins goes somewhere else and Rosen/Darnold are taken by 5 which is more than likely), Jets can resign Josh McCown to start 2018 and he is the perfect vet to help Baker learn progressions. To me its an upside that Baker will almost definitely have to step in sometime during the season for an injured McCown with low pressure and get some experience. My dad (the true jets fan) really wants Lamar Jackson, thoughts on which QB is more likely to succeed at next the level?

[@lucas-kr7xd]

Yeah Right mayfield bc scrambling qbs never work out in the NFL long term

[@yeahr1ghty]

engiNe yeezy Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Mariota are all dual threat QBs who have had success in NFL and Lamar Jackson threw a ton. There's a diff between a dual threat qb and a running qb (Tim Tebow), Lamar Jackson has already proven he's a proficient passer. Statistically a mobile qb is far more likely to succeed than an air raid qb (Mayfield). For me to decide I would have to talk to both guys to see who has more integrity and who has more drive to improve. Given Mayfield antics on and off field plus looking at LJ improvement every season as a passer on a weak offense I would take LJ if I had to pick now

[@glory2god303]

I personally think Lamar Jackson, because I think he’s the best QB in the draft, call me crazy but I think he will be the best.

[@diehardknicksfansinceiwass2683]

engiNe yeezy mayfield isn’t a scrambling QB though . He’s priority is always to pass first

[@slickaz-qy3cf]

Yeah Right I saw alot of plays he used progression .

[@drejwatt1387]

I'm so excited to see what Baker can do now that he's part of my CLEVELAND BROWNS

[@Donnybrook10]

you Sir, are an excellent analyst.

[@S3rv3nT4p]

This was great!! Please do Saquon Barkley!

[@jamesonreno370]

Personally, Mayfield kinda reminds me of Romo. He's hard to take down in the backfield, he's just mobile enough to make a profit outside the pocket, he does well when he plays up-tempo and charges down the field, he has a tendency to overextend plays to go for unnecessary large gains but he also tends to make that work when it shouldn't and when it doesn't work he gets punished hard.

[@philipcallado5693]

I think there's some Jimmy Garoppolo in his game. Quick feet, quick release, very accurate, smart, works hard, goes through progressions and throws well on the move. Like Jimmy G, he's going to need some time behind a veteran (actually none of the QBs in this draft are ready to start right away, IMO), but he has the potential to be a quality starter, if not an elite QB.

[@calvinm301]

You deserve way more subs!! Great videos.

[@joshnormanhttr8569]

Did you ever play football in your life?If not how have you become so amazing at souting reports

[@shake4259]

I watched highlights of the QBs and the only ones that seemed good enough were Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson. I really didn't see much in Rosen.

[@trishamoss3719]

Where do you get film? Game Highlights?

[@PapaBearKnowsBestt]

You watch regular highlight videos to talk yourself into a player. You watch film breakdown like this to talk yourself out of a player.

[@GG-lr3gv]

Elite content, subscribed.

[@YoungZach4]

I really don't see what you see in him. He played behind an incredible O line that let him do whatever he wanted in the pocket. You should really evaluate QBs on how well they play in conflict, i.e. Blitzes, effective pass rushes, after they've been hit a few times...

[@dankburrito4219]

Mayfield was number one in the draft in those categories. So you failed then and fail now. You didn't see it, and that's why you're here and they're in the NFL.

[@inappropriatecontent2589]

Hey Samuel, excellent analysis! Any plans of looking at Johnny Manziel in the upcoming spring league?

[@SamuelGoldNFL]

Nah I'm good haha... I don't even know if they'll release ALL-22 film for that.

[@coreilly796]

Great video again. I’ve become slightly less of a fan of BM from watching this cause their are some things I don’t love like that pass breakup on the deep ball vs OSU and that lack of awareness vs some blitzes.

[@JETiKnightNY]

Hey Conor, maybe you should dictate your fandom on videos like this. Though I love Gold's videos, it's simply his personal assessment. Go back and look at his videos from last year's class, specifically Dashaun Watson. He had Watson as a mid 2nd round grade, Watson got to Houston and was tearing the league up until his injury. He criticized his completion percentage because he played in the spread and threw screens/hitches, yet it was the spread concepts pulled directly from the Clemson playbook that helped Watson make the transition as well as had him account for 21 TD's in just 6 games. Baker Mayfield imo is a beast, and though I do watch videos like this and respect Gold's opinion, I dont let videos like this dictate my feeling on a player. It just lets me view the same player form a different point of view.

[@Matt02341]

Hey I know this is college but I just thought of this so, can you do a Belichick vs a Schwartz defense. First it was Suh who was definitely a concern but after this past Super Bowl maybe Schwartz has more to do with it than we think.

[@MichaelBlackledge]

What do you think about Miami taking Mayfield at 11? I think it can be a similar situation to the Chiefs last season. Could be a good motivator for Tannehill, and depending on how Tannehill plays we can decide whether to trade him and move on to Mayfield or keep him after the season. Also I think the offense would be a good fit for Mayfield considering his similar skill set to Tannehill's.

[@AMan-dj2qo]

Michael Blackledge he's not getting there

[@witbio]

U know what... As long as the pass gets there and it's accurate it's good..... Look at arron Rodgers

[@GG-lr3gv]

I think it *should* go like this: #1 Position player, Browns (I think the Browns should trade for McCarron and build up a roster before stabbing at another rookie QB. #2 Allen, Giants (Sit Josh Allen behind Eli for a year and let him learn, most talented QB in draft) #4 Position Player, Browns (For reasons I mentioned earlier) #5 Cousins, Broncos (Defense is ready to compete, throw the book at Cousins. Though I’ve been hearing really good things about the guard from Notre Dame) #6 Rosen, Jets (Farther along than Darnold, will need to start right away and is a better option to take that on than Darnold) #15 Darnold, Cardinals (Bit of a toss up between him, Mayfield and even Jackson. Up to the new coaching staff. I think Darnold would be the safest option.) #17 Mayfield, Chargers (Find Rivers’ successor now. Perfect guy for Mayfield to sit behind and learn. Although the Chargers would probably like to address other issues on their roster at #17) #27 Jackson, Saints (Brees will be good for Jackson, Sean Payton is good for Jackson. Unless you find an impact rookie that will help you to the Super Bowl this season you draft Jackson.)

[@flowthrupranayama]

Mayfield has a good chance to be better than Darnold IMO. Maybe he has a blind spot on the weak side, but his ability to throw on the run and sense pressure will help him in the pros.

[@yinyuetrifecta]

The touchdown throw against Georgia in the back of the end zone was to a full back, not a TE. #36 Flowers

[@dankburrito4219]

Forrest Hair He lines up as a fullback in the offense. He's an H-Back he's able to line up as a receiver and back

[@brianmontgomery580]

[@fredkruse9444]

Definitely my favorite name in the draft, along with Hercules Mata'afa.

[@cobyshelton3392]

If I’m not mistaken he was the best QB in 2015, 2016, and 2017 against pressure or blitzes

[@thompsonj24]

Coby Shelton Well OU has one of the best offensive lines in the country. Watch any highlight video or even a video showing all of his plays in a game. He’s hardly under actual pressure. Nothing like an NFL defensive pass rush could create.

[@cobyshelton3392]

Jacob Thompson yes they are one of the best but still he’s very good. I’ve watched every single game religiously cause I’m an OU fan😂

[@anndizzle13]

Can you please do Sam Darnold next?

[@LILCHEESE99]

You keep saying "if he has time to develop, then he'll be an NFL qb." Well tbat doesn't work in the nfl. There are no teams that are picking high that have a veteran qb for him to study behind. Every time that we say that, we arlready an expect for him to be a bust. They said the same thing about Colt McCoy, Jake Locker, and Manziel. So I just have a gut feeling that he's going to be horrible in the NFL. I like Josh Allen more than him.

[@peter69215]

LILCHEESE99 Pat Mahomes went 12th and was and is further behind Mayfield as a QB. Josh Mccown is a perfect QB to sit behind, He will start day 1 anyway.

[@LILCHEESE99]

Jets are more likely to take Allen than him. And the chiefs traded 17 picks up to get Mahomes. Very different situations.

[@GG-lr3gv]

Steelers, Patriots or Giants could draft him and sit him behind their hall of famers for a year or two.

[@ahrnaf4718]

Allen is literally the definition of overrated and bad. Literally the next Jake Locker/Jamarcus Russell. Baker sort of reminds me of a less athletic version of Russell Wilson.

[@ericniesen1775]

Some times the best development is experience... not to mention they said the same thing about Mariota, Watson, just to name 2 recent ones

[@Nathan-se3fr]

Do Jackson!

[@examplename5716]

he is by far and i'm telling you by far the best deep ball qb in this class. everybody has some over- and underthrows and he's mobile. he everyone of them has to learn and i think he can develop more than a darnold who can't scramble, a rosen who's a pure westcoast shortpass qb and an allen who's worse in litterally worse in every category except the sceme he played in. #bradyisnotthegoat #bradyisnotevencloseto

[@DepthsTheGawd]

Dave Johnny Darnold can’t scramble? U sure u watching the same Darnold? I do agree Brady is not the goat

[@dr.dremil8162]

Not a single word on his attitude? A head coach called him "over-the-top cocky" at the combine. Sure, he's a great player on the field but you can't ignore his off the field issues

Brock Osweiler is 6’7 and garbage

[@ian7136]

[@wiresidewidebrow5886]

Baefield

[@colinlundi9209]

Well he was pretty wrong

[@thompsonj24]

Honestly he is a 2nd round guy at best whose value is bumped up by so many teams needing a QB. While he does have some great qualities like accuracy and can make some wow plays, his downfall will be that he holds the ball too long and doesn’t throw with anticipation to throw a guy open. I watched him lose his starting job to Davis Webb at Texas Tech for the same reasons. The reason he could get away with holding the ball at OU is because they have one of the best O-lines in the country. Go watch any of his highlights or videos showing all of his plays in a game. I’m not even sure you can call what the defenses are doing a pass rush. Now I’m not here saying he is bad, but he’ll have to go to the right team such as the Dolphins if they resign Jarvis Landry. They have a good enough offensive line and run a system with a lot of short passes where Mayfield could be efficient in. I’m a Broncos fan and can tell you we are not a good fit for him. If we draft anybody but Quenton Nelson ( Notre Dame guard) then we wasted the 5th pick in the draft. Only exceptions would be Bradley Chubb and Minkah Fitzpatrick if Nelson is picked already.

[@MuneyJordan23]

I Agree

[@thompsonj24]

[@Hartmaniac]

Jacob Thompson trying to sound like a know it all when you obviously don't do your research. Look at his pro football focus stats. He is extremely accurate in tight windows while under pressure. And very often throws WRs open. They have a category for "NFL style throws" for college qbs. Guess who had the best stats for that category?

I swear I'm watching Mahomes here. Less arm talent, shorter, and runs more, but same mentality. Question is, does he have the mind to learn like Mahomes did? Only reason why I question that is, he does stupid crap too often, childish personalities tend to fade out quickly at the next level.
