7 years agoCleveland Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, expects the team to use to No. 1 overall pick on Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield in Thursday's NFL draft. Cabot cited the fact that general manager John Dorsey has liked Mayfield since he scouted him last fall and that Cleveland draft consultant Scot McCoughan loves the 23-year-old and has been pushing for the team to take him since being hired. Cabot also mentioned the fact that Dorsey defended Mayfield's character when he was asked about it at the Senior Bowl. Mayfield, of course, has had his character linked to that of former Browns draft bust Johnny Manziel. More signs are starting to point to the Browns taking Mayfield but it also wouldn't be a huge shock to see them go in a different direction.--Matt T - RotoBaller
