Interesting thing @SeniorBowlPhil just told me and @HorowitzJason on @ESPNUonSiriusXM: The Broncos staff requested that Baker Mayfield be placed on their team at the Senior Bowl.
So many questions on how he translates to an NFL scheme, how he takes in coaching knowing his attitude on the field, does he naturally lead in difficult environments?
I don't think it means they are deeply interested, I think it has more to do with the amount of questions around him as a prospect. I think anyone with half of a brain can tell this guy can ball.
Giants “insider” reports a strategic leak that Giants like Mayfield
but are open to trade. The media reports that another team that is in need of a Qb, strongly likes Mayfield and is looking to trade up to get him. This puts pressure on Elway to jump this mystery team at 2 and grab their guy.
Giants then reap the reward.

If the Giants leak that they want Mayfield, teams would try to get ahead of us to get him if they also want him. Why would we trade our pick to another team who wants to take Mayfield if we love Mayfield?

Pick Allen in that case...don't fool around

I think this kid is going to be great. And I hate QBs of his style. But this kid has it, from everything I see. He will be on Russel Wilson’s level IMO. I know you’re a way more knowledgeable talent evaluator then i ever will be, but to me it’s easy to see he’s special.
Not a fan of Rosen?

Not convinced he'll warrant the pick at #2.

Concussion history needs careful consideration and review.

When I first read the OP, this is what I thought. Denver has serious questions about him and they want to get a close up and personal look. Coaching him is the best way. I think they are a far cry from "we're taking him"

Sy,
I'm sure you have answered this a thousand times but where can I read your take on Mayfield (obviously your last statement suggests you are a fan).
I think you are missing one thing. If we trade down down, we may very well end up having to trade up later, when it is us that has to give up the point system....
If Indy trades out to a QB needed team And our QB is gone, then we can pick from Chubb, Minka, Or even a OL that grades to the 5/6 spot AND have the extra picks.
The Shrine and Senior games, and Combine hopefully create a separation among the top 10-15players.
I am not saying based on their NFL careers but if they both were coming out of college today (forget the change in game play) but just the ability they have shown, their size, athleticism etc., how would they be rated?
FWIW, Robbie Esch at THR still has him pegged as likely to go in the top 15 of the 2nd round.
My ONLY real concern remains is whether NFL level competition will permit him to continue his style of play, which I believe is essential for him to continue to succeed.

He is one of the more confusing prospects in the entire class at a position that they need, also at a position that is incredibly important.

+1 .... not that his style needs height to be successful but, if he was in the 6'2" - 6'5" I really believe he would be a top 3 .. (top 5?) pick. When it is all written, I think he will have a Very Good - Great career.
Baker Mayfield
Josh Allen
Mason Rudolph
Luke (no relation to Peter) Falk
Brandon (no relation to Phil) Silvers
Mike White
Kurt (no relation to the bakery) Benkert
(and the one and only) Kyle Lauletta!
How his attitude translates to the NFL is the critical question. He certainly looks like he can play.
