Day one of the 2018 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Cleveland Browns did NOT lose their minds and pick Josh Allen with the No. 1 overall pick. Instead, they took Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield. It certainly seems to be a better pick than Allen, but it might be the worst possible situation for Mayfield. For starters, it’s the damn Cleveland Browns. What’s more, as the overall No. 1 pick, where will he get the “nobody believed in me” motivation that has propelled him this far? Maybe he’ll get worked up about no other team trading up to pick him.
