• 6. BAKER MAYFIELD

(Oklahoma) — On the slim chance Mayfield somehow slips down the board, and is available when the Patriots pick at No. 31 in the first round, or even by more of a miracle in the second round, we'll list him in the group.

He may not have Brady-like size at 6-0, 218, but he has everything else.

“What makes me the best option? Accuracy, I can make any throw,” Mayfield said Friday. “Winning, that's the most important, but the way I've been able to get my guys around me to play, not just the offensive players around me, the other 10 guys, but defensive guys, special teams, the energy I bring, the passion I bring, it's infectious. So you can ask anybody on that Oklahoma staff, that's what I bring to the table and it helps us out.''

Mayfield, however,

has had some off-field issues that might make some teams shy away.

“His tape is really good. He's close to a 70 percent completion guy. I'm not too worried about him being 6-foot or 6-1, even though there is a very small percentage of those quarterbacks,” Mayock said on a conference call Monday. “I think it really comes down to off the field, face-to-face, in the meeting rooms, with the decision-makers whether or not you're going to buy into his character and him being the face of your franchise. I think there are going to be some teams that say no, I've seen some talent, but it's not my guy. I think some other teams are going to say no biggie, maybe some emotional competitive immaturity, but outside of that I'm good.”

Said Whitfield: “He's the most accurate passer here.”
