Add Joey Kent who went in the second round in 1997.
The ideal prospect for the Miami Dolphins is Jerry Jeudy, not Tua

Ceedee Lamb looks like an early draft pick; so does Waddle when he becomes available.
Hollywood Brown was draft 25th, Westbrook in the 4rd round, Andrews in the 3rd round and Shepherd in the 2nd round. Josh Jacobs went higher than Mixon, no?
From the mocks I've seen, Jeudy, Ruggs and Smith will be going in the first round... sorry Ted, close but still not apples to apples

So in 1996, when Peyton Manning was all set to go #1 overall to the New York Jets had he actually come out, his top 3 receivers were 2nd rounder Joey Kent, 1st rounder Marcus Nash, and 2nd rounder Peerless Price.
Funny how that works.
Oh but I guess that example is going to be ruled out because of {{{reasons}}}.
Looks like 3 first round wideouts will be drafted this year; the best Baker had was 1... There's "talent" and then there's "exceptional talent"

If you think those dudes are all going in the first round, with Felipe Franks throwing them the ball, I got some things I need to sell you.
I don’t watch college ball. But here’s the thing about WRs and their ability to make a QB look good. I think it’s a false premise. It’s the other way around. Hear me out. If you have a crappy QB, they don’t throw the ball when it’s supposed to be delivered. Thus, you could give the rapist Antonio Brown to Josh Weeden and Weeden’s stats wouldn’t be helped that much. Now you can take a guy like Lamar Thomas and give him to Dan Marino and he looks like a serviceable starter when he really had no business being one. Make sense?

People don't seem to recognize that there's no tried and true formula for this stuff. If there were, mistakes wouldn't be made.
I mean, the reverse is true too. Just because a prospect played at a program where there was little to no outstanding talent around them yet they performed at a high level doesn't mean that player will undoubtedly excel at the next level with more talent.

This is such a dumb argument. Jeudy over Tua lol. Maybe we can play Wildcat 100% of the time. Jeudy 95% of the time and Ballage 5% of the time at QB. And the 5% of the time Ballage can throw bubble screens to Jeudy.
What a thread.

They may all go in the 1st round - then again they may not. Joe Mixon only slipped out of the 1st round because of a video of him slugging a girl in the face.
Sure it's apples to apples. Look at the quality of pros all those guys from Mayfield's Oklahoma team are. Most of 'em were under-drafted if anything.
The offensive line was one of the best ever assembled

Dont even mention the wealth of riches he had at running back. In 1997, Peyton had Jamal Lewis who only ran for 1,364 yards. He was drafted 5th overall. God. I dont know how Manning didnt win a championship. Defense was stacked too.

But like everyone says, Tua has an A+ Line protecting him!!!

He's grasping at straws in trying to 'undersell' OU's talent. Doesn't matter where those players were drafted then, in comparison to where these Bama players might be drafted now. The OU players have now been vetted in the NFL and would go much higher in a re-draft.
The main point that has clearly been made by now is that there was an embarrassment of riches surrounding Baker Mayfield while he was in college. FACT.
Lastly, none of that will limit or prevent Mayfield from becoming a serviceable or even very good or great QB in the NFL someday.

I mean if this is the case you'd certainly think it provides a bleak outlook for Christian Wilkins also - playing with all those 1st round picks along side of him.
