Baker Mayfield ended up being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, but there was plenty of uncertainty heading into draft night.
"For a while, he was convinced New England would trade up for him at No. 2," Mina Kimes of ESPN reported.
The Patriots had the No. 31 pick of that draft, so it would have required a massive deal to get the second overall pick from the New York Giants. However, the Cleveland Browns ruined any possibility of that by taking Mayfield with the first selection.
