Baker Mayfield-QB Oklahoma

Browse 49ers books and videos
Love me some Baker Mayfield. I was hoping he would be available in the 6th round but he's playing his way up draft boards. His size and pocket presence will be the biggest knocks on him though.

I think its especially critical for him to wind up in the right scheme. You pretty much have to tailor your offense to him freestyling and playing backyard football, his pocket passing ability is pretty limited and he isnt the same caliber of prospect that a guy like Russell Wilson was.

Couldn't have said it better myself. That's exactly the type of QB Mayfield is, backyard type radical QB. Loves to bail from the pocket and make plays on his own, sometimes tries to do too much. That stuff will work in college, but NFL defenses will eat that up all day. Don't get me wrong I think he does some good things when he throws on the run, but I think he's gonna need some major tutoring in the NFL, he doesn't exactly have a laser rocket arm either.

I think Hue Jackson would be a good coach for him to work with, I think he could mold Mayfields mobility into his offense.

MAYFIELD is GROSSMAN all over again..
I liked his game today...kid seems to have leadership skills and a winners mentality. Reminds me a bit of a smaller Derek Carr....Carr in a Drew Brees sized package. Gunslinger type. Now you can tell me how he's not like Carr in any way.

According to ESPN he is not declaring.
I saw that just after I posted. I guess he got discourages by lack of support on this board.
