Mayfield held his ground year-over-year, slipping just slightly in average vote while falling three spots in ranking. An exec said: "He probably fluctuates from a 3 to a 2, with some (Tier) 1 games in there. A little bit of a reckless play style, a little smaller guy. You saw some wear and tear catch up to him last season. I lean towards a 3." A former head coach countered: "I don't want to be unfair to Brock Purdy, but I feel more threatened by Baker. I think Baker does more outside of the system. I don't think he has been as protected in a system like Brock has, and he's a winner, he's got that edge to him. So does Brock. Baker is a 2 to me."
