I saw that too. He very well could, but I'm not sure. Denzel Ward went top 5 because he was excellent in coverage and he ran a 4.32 with a 39" vertical at 5'11". I don't know that Baker is going to run like that. They had Josh Jackson ahead of Ward in their rankings all of last year and in the top 8 consistently, but he ended up going at 45. That all said, PFF actually does have decent draft rankings. They were one of the only outlets, if not the only outlet, to have Baker Mayfield the #1 QB and #1 to the Browns for most of the process. All that said, the way KC is playing could have them very much out of range for Baker.
Blace Brown from Troy is a very similar player that plays a ton of off-man and may actually be faster than Baker. I really like him alot too.
While I find it doubtful any of these guys declare, it'll be interesting to see if Byron Murphy (Washington, rSo), Lavert Hill (Michigan, rSo), or Julian Blackmon (Utah, Jr) end up in the conversation.
