Cleveland Browns' 2018 draft: Analysis for every selection

Breaking down the Cleveland Browns' 2018 draft class.

Round 1, No. 1 overall: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

My take: John Dorsey must have firm belief in Mayfield, who is a short quarterback (6-foot) with a strong arm -- a guy who had issues off the field with an arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, and who grabbed his crotch toward the Kansas bench during a game. He says he’s simply emotional, but in the NFL acting emotionally can lead to a quarterback’s demise. It’s those issues -- not his on-field play -- that prompt comparisons to Johnny Manziel.
