2018 NFL Mock Draft: Baker Mayfield Goes to the Jets

Dan Kadar of our sister site has a new mock draft. He has a big name quarterback coming to the Jets.

6. New York Jets: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

Mayfield landing in New York would be the story of the draft, if it happens. If Bryce Petty or Christian Hackenberg were going to be franchise quarterbacks, they would have shown something by now. The Jets would finally have their long-term answer at quarterback in Mayfield.

There isn’t much doubt Mayfield would create a lot of buzz. The biggest name in college football starting his professional career in New York might be the biggest story around the Jets since the Tebow days. Whether Mayfield is good enough to justify a top ten selection is a different question.

The picks off the board in this mock by the time the Jets pick are Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Saquon Barkley, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Josh Allen.
